I have some small hail dents in the roof and hood. They range from about 1/8" to maybe 1/2". I need to repair them before I get the truck painted.
I'm just about ready to start all the body repair. All trim is off and there's no head liner. I'm going to rip out the underhood insulation since it continually drops dirt in the engine bay. That means I can get to both sides of the dents.
I've watched videos of people using dry ice, but most of them were not very successful.
I don't have any body hammers and "anvils" (whatever they're called), but Harbor Freight has a set for about $40. Should I try that route? I have no experience.
I have some Clausen Z-CHROME™ Self-Etching Body Filler. I saw it used on one of the TV shows, Muscle Cars, I think. They claim it doesn't shrink. Would that be a viable option?
