    Dent in tank

    A mate of mine borrowed a friend's bike which fell off the stand and dinted the tank, he was quoted $500 to bog & paint it but I thought a dint like this could be sucked out, can anyone advise??

    could be an awkward spot, but ask some "paintless dent repair" places. doesn't look like it would be too harsh a dent to be massaged out.

    if u can get to it u could more than likely push it out there is only need for bog if needed to be kept to an absolute minimum thats if u need to just to finish it of 500 is a lot of money just for a tank im doing one tomorrow black & candy for half that

    a painless dent man is going to cost you $200 and they do great work,give your local guy a call ,u wont have to take the tank off,but having another look at the picture ,and seeing its a tank ,it might be a pull n bog job ,unless you can remove the foool gauge,

    Just whack a sticker over the top! Job dun!!


    Seriosly though, paintless repair or a new/2nd hand tank of fleabay would be around half what youve been quoted.

    so anyway from the small little pic i can see it could possibly be removed by a PDR paintless dent removal guy

    its something i have been looking at for a monster tank with a bar ding in it which i think should be able to be pretty well pushed out

    if you youtube PDR or motorcycle tank dent removal you will see what i mean

    and if they can PDR the dent then looking at maybe a couple of hundred bucks and no bog required
