    i'll have to try it on the echo and based on how well that goes i'll do it on the Subaru. I have both things needed for this so why not.

    Awesome DIY method. But unfortunately it does not work on creased like dings/dents.

    used a propane torch and dry ice to smooth out the panels on the bug. Have to be careful with the contrast though as it will cause the paint to rise or bubble off the panel.

    Get it hot via hair dryer. I wouldn't use a heat gun.....too hot (contrast like b reel said).

    goes either way, if too hot will bubble up and if to cold to quick it will spider web. best to do a test panel first to figure out a technique. works great on door dings that aren't to deep.

    Man, I've always read using dry ice works. Guessin you got to wear thick gloves for that but never tried that technique. Will have to try the hair dryer and compressed air.

    you only do that on bare panels if you can get behind the panel it's amazing what you can do with two wooden spoons
