Re: Newb asking for fender dent repair advice?

"The simple secret is to make every blow of the hammer strike the metal directly above the dolly or spoon." This is simply not true. In most cases we should hammer off dolly since hammering on dolly stretches metal that's already stretched, making things worse.

As I mentioned, much if not most info about bodywork on the internet will be found to be untrue. The key to metal bumping is the classic tiny book and with some effort can be grabbed on the internet as a pdf.
