I recently had my car painted, about 2 weeks ago, and not really all that good of a job.

The main issue is that several hail damage dents in the hood (maybe about 20) were not fixed prior to painting.

My question is can I use dry ice and/or a hair dryer on the new paint without damaging the paint job.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks.

Any body out there have experience with using dry ice to remove hail type dents?

Help. Trying to safe a recent paint job.

Thanks.

Have you Googled "dry ice dent repair"? You'll get links To about a bazillion YouTube videos and DIY accounts about the process.

Yes, but I am not sure if this is acceptable on new paint? I will keep searching to see if it is mentioned.

Should I wait 30 - 60 days?

Thanks.

It can't hurt to be cautious. I've heard also that newer paint cures very fast but is there a rush? Dry ice and a heat gun is about as hard a test as you can put paint through.

Good luck

Good point. No rush. Just fruistrating to have a new paint job and not be able to show off the car. I am going to wait at least 30 days and then try one spot.
