motored my G this am with the wife. perfect day too, sunny kinda cool, enjoying the ride when suddenly...

BAM!!

wife was like OMG!!

i was like

a passing dump truck shot a rock from its front tire sideways and hit just forward of the rear quarter arch.
luckily the car has clearbra there so no paint damage, but dented..

no PDR access unless i drill from the wheel well, so i decided to use my puller tool. studied the ding and
marked the ideal pull location..

puller applied..


puller armed..


one pull, dent pulled. slight high spot, but no issue. no knockdown needed.


applied new clearbra. DONE!


wat to do with the $250 i just saved.

It's called a glue puller. I forget where I bought it from but most PDR tool shops carry it.

Its not the most accurate tool though. definitely NOT my first tool choice for fixing dents. Also requires knowledge of how to read and knock down high spots.

The Charity Rally was good, even though it rained all day. Many exotics came out to support the cause. I'll post up pics when I find some time.

If you invert colors and overlay them on top of the original colors with 50% opacity you get a solid gray. How do I know this? I took the gay rainbow colors and added a layer of the colors inverted. Why did I do this?
