How to work this deep dent out?
#11
I have a cheap HF hammer and dolly set. You dont need the high dollar kits. Especially first starting out. I see you are out of washington. Where are you located? I am in Vancouver. If you are close you could borrow my set or I could give you a hand if you need.

Wow, thanks to everybody who responded. I'm near Tacoma. I used a rubber mallet and a rounded piece of wood to get some of the deep part out. I've repainted over it. I don't need it to look professional yet. I just wanted it to improve, which it did. When I'm ready to prep the entire car for paint (someday lol) I'll go ahead and do everything the best I can. Tomorrow I am going to go to the store and look at my options of body filler. I know you only need a small amount. The amount i need is only a fe MM's here and there. I plan to fill the trench part of the dent mostly, then sand carefully until it's flush with the panel. I'll post pics when done.

standard primers and body fillers are porous. if you do not coat the repair with epoxy primer or paint and let it get wet for any period of time, you've wasted whatever time and money you put into the repair. you will need to strip it back out and start over when you're prepping for paint or risk having rust bubbles form within a year.
no just wet but letting filler sit open to air in a humid climate like here in south GA :P
