popping out a dent

well i just noticed right above my right, rear, tire where the fender goes over the tire there is like a 3 inch (but not to drastic) dent. I have a huge 3 pound magnet that i used to use when i was into magic and crap. Will this work if i wrap it in a towel so it doens't scratch it?? I don't have a suction cup or a popsident thing lol.

thanks

Magnet by itself probably won't. Rubber mallet on the inside of the fender with a dent dolly wrapped in a towel on the outside might though.

Well if the dent is more or less just like a 'depression' in the metal.... you oculd go buy a suction cup and pull hard, we did this on my friends car and itpopped the metal back out to th original position, but i think we got pretty lucky

RE: popping out a dent

i have heard that you can use a plunger to pull a dent out. i have never tried it though. i dont know how you would feel having a turd on your car though. haha. all i could say was try it, it never hurts to try.
