Dent repair options

Tried the suction cup from Harbor freight and didn’t work. I’m considering getting a dent puller from Amazon or something. Anyone use these successfully?

Where is the dent?

If its in a spot where you can put a deflated football and add air to pop it out that might work. If there are any creases in the metal it will make it harder to pop out and the creases may stay depending on how big they are.

Oof.

What's a straight fender cost? Better off to just to that honestly.. You'd need a weld on stud puller for a lot of that and then a bit of cheese work and then paint of course..

^^^This. I'd look at the junkyards and heck you may get lucky with a color match.

that is not an easy fix. i pictured a little dent in a flatter panel but thats a serious hit there. someone backed into it or you hit a pole while backing up?

I just picked up a left front for $35 at the u-pull here in the thumb - in excellent condition.
Better off to just replace the fender when you consider the time and money spent to repair the original.

Unless you just want an excuse to go buy more tools: "Honey, I can do this myself if I had the right tools...
I use that one all the time.

Usually I just add more dents so that all the panels match.

Yeah I’m just going to replace the fender. I’ll look around for a paint match but if not, I’m sure a can or two isn’t crazy priced.
