http://bit.ly/studgun - CLICK THE LINK TO LEARN 7 DENT REPAIR TIPS. This video has been selected by Motor Guard as their official how to stud nail gun video. Watch the video and learn about all of their stud guns at http://www.motorguard.com/col_1.html

Dent repair can be performed with many different methods. For instance, hammer and dolly, spoons, painless dent removal (pdr) are all different techniques that can be used to fix dents. In this video I am going to demonstrate how to use a stud nail gun that welds a small stud to the metal panel to remove the damage.

  • why not just fill it to start with ?

  • @stevemostwanted The dent was a little too deep to just fill. Thanks for watching.

  • I kinda feel that doing a more involved damaged unit would of suited this subject better. I know u get more in a classroom, but it would really help if say you would use a part that would be difficult to get underneath with the dolly. Also approaching a dent high and low spots: you might want to spray some neon stuff showing the 2 areas then adding a purple light. That way the pulling action will show the metal movement. just some thoughts I wanted to share: great job though, I enjoyed it

  • @invisible634 Thanks for the suggestions! Very helpful, I will have to try that!

  • can't u just use a makita sander instead of that grinder?

  • @Xytos As long as you get the surface to the metal, the stud welder will work.

see all

  • @stevemostwanted because some people dont want to half ass things.

  • @hatekhaos Thanks for the input!

  • @hatekhaos Thanks for watching!

  • The old method of dent repair with a slide hammer was drilling holes into the panel then using a screw on the slide hammer to remove the dent. The stud welder avoids drilling holes which can weaken the panel, remove corrosion protection and be a starting point for rust. If not repaired properly also the holes can show through the repair area.

    The use of the stud welder avoids these problems.

    Great video as always keep them coming.
