im going to try this, except im going to use a heat gun instead of a hair dryer. i have a feeling that will work better.

I'd say go with the hairdryer as it will be more controlable. Last thing you wanna do is scorch your paint and that will be much easier to do with a heat gun.
hardware stores, such as?
Sorry maybe I'm being dense but I've never seen CO2 for sale
You can get pretty much anything at hardware stores here, but if its not available then perhaps substitute with a large ice pack perhaps?
used to work in a body shop where we used heat guns to de-badge cars. im not worried bout scorching the paint.
How did you get on?
Didn't work for me, I guess the dents need to be fairly 'fresh'.
Hairdryer and co2 spray... I'm not getting a heat gun and then trying to source even colder co2 spray.
um I think it needs to be co2 spray as it's cold. Airdusters is just pressurised air? You can get co2 spray from maplin for cheaper but it didnt work for me.
jesus i totaly forgot about this. when i tryed it, i got better results useing a heat gun, and CO2, than a hairdryer. still wasnt that good tho. so being as insane as i am, i went and got on the snow boarding gear and attempted it a 3rd time. (this time recuiteing the oxygen tank from my cutting equipment) it works. but unless you want a new paintjob and window, i wouldnt suggest it.
it does work but it really drpends on the type of dent that you have to remove.,
DO NOT DO THIS! It made my dent much worse! Dent devils it is!
So moral of the story is: leave it to the pros unless you're confident enough/know what you're doing :devil:
