I saw this one over on streetfire.... Looks like its a real video.

Fixing a car dent with Compressed Air?! - Car Videos on StreetFire

It is. This is one of those painless dent removal ideas that are used after hail storms. Suprisingly effective if you get to the dent just after it happens. If not the metal will have a memory and won't pop back out.

But, look for the paint to separate from the metal over time. Thermal shock is never a good thing for paint which is bonded mechanically.

Don't expect to be able to do it to just any dent. Most of the time if it will pop with a thermal shock, it will pop by just getting behind it and pushing with your fingers or putting a suction cup on it. Using a white vehicle was kind of cheating also, odds are good it still has a small crease at the bodyline but you just can't see it.

But it probably won't hurt to try, unless you manage to damage the paint.

Done this before using dry ice instead of the can of compressed air. The comment about white is on the money. The major portion of the dent inverted, but odds are there is still some work needing to be done. At this point, you go behind the panel and work the dent smotth from the inside using a spoon or similar. Still a worthy technique, but it's not quite as simple as depicted.

Just get a Dent Guy like me to fix it :biggrin:
Paintless Dent Repair is really the way to go. Fix a dent in seconds and nothing messes with the paint. no heat/cooling. massage the metal from the backside until its gone.
