I just had my bike repainted over the fall. Go to ride to work this morning and notice a small ding in the tank. As sitting on the bike it is on the right side. I know it jsut happened as I rode on Sunday and it was not there.
Whats the chances of getting one of my kids or wife to admit to it.
Anyone ever use a "dent master" to remove these small dings ?

Got a guy in my neck of the woods who does dent removal. Results on several dings in my car fender were excellent.

You need to use the "ding master" on whoever did it!

"Paintless dent repair" guys can work wonders. Ask around a used car dealer who they use.

I remember hearing dry ice can remove some dents. Never tried it and can't verify, but search a bit and maybe try it.
