It's not too expensive... Around Tampa it's $18 for a good size piece. I can go to Publix right now and get some if needed to. Actually, it's easier to get my hands on dry ice than it is a dent puller.

Why do this when it costs less than $100 for PDR, which is completely paint safe?

I honestly have no idea what dry ice will do to paint. Probably nothing; but still - seems a lot less reliable than a good PDR guy.

I don't think it's "pinpoint" enough to fix a certain area only. Mind you that the temp of the metal will vary depending on surface, humidity, etc.

Theoretically, if this works, it will actually create a ripple effect on the metal.

I don't think it'll work.



By the way, don't sit on dry ice for too long. It will give you frostbite on your bunghole faster than anything you can imagine...

I'm not willing. If it damages the paint, that means a whole panel to spray.

I'll save the dry ice for fishing.

There's an old UL about a guy who bought a hail-damaged Porsche for a few cents on the dollar and pulled the dents with dry ice. I don't think it's possible even on an aluminum body to pull these kind of dents completely - especially without cracking the paint (remember it's going to be awfully cold too). It might be OK on big, shallow "oil can" dents on flat surfaces, but a suction cup dent puller would probably do as well with less chance of paint damage.

just hire a dent devil paintless dent repair guy, cheap, great results.
