So I decided to go to a party. When I got back there were foot prints up and down my car and a dent in the roof. This was two days before I was getting my alarm installed.
Yarg. So I pulled out the ceiling trim and now I got just bare metal... I know the standard practice is to "hammer it out." But I don't want to start hammering without some advisement. Will it pop right back out? Should I just take it to a repair place? --------------------  |

If the metal is not creased, you can use a heat gun to work the dent out by hand. You have to be careful when you do this though because you can scorch your paint. Take the heat gun and heat up the outer edges of the dent. When it's good and hot go inside your car(before you do anything make sure the headliner is already out)and work your hands over the dent from the outer most part of the dent to the inner part of the dent. Keep working at it like that util the dent is completely removed. If you try getting the dent out like this make sure you are keeping a close watch on how the paint is reacting to the heat. This method works well on areas such as hoods and doors but I have only done this on cars just before painting them.
