F) Suction cup
G) Large, blunt tip tools
OK- depending on the location of your BIGGGGGGG Dent, our focus and strategy will depend on what method and starting point we will go with for our Paintless Dent Repair for big dents.

OPEN Panel (quarter panel, roof, fender, etc)
IF you can get your hand or large object (Baseball, golfball etc etc) on the dent, you want to use THE LARGEST SURFACE AREA first to start to remove the dent.
Do NOT, I AM SAYING DOOOO NOT put a PDR tool on the dent first. Why? a small metal tip will turn your paintless dent repair into a paintless dent done wrong repair. Period end of paragraph..

SO, that being said, start by working your dent with a large, blunt object until the dent is either sectioned off into very small sub-dents no larger that a half dollar, or smaller. Once again, YOU MAY BE PRONE TO PUTTING A PDR ROD ONTO THE DENT NOW..Do NOT until the dent is small and READY for a PDR Tool.
Why?
IF YOU LIKE PORCUPINES, PIMPLE FACED METAL, CHICKEN-POX PAINT, etc, go ahead. IF you are trying to remotely retain the proper texture of the paint finish, start blunt, then eventually go with smaller tips. You can use rubber tips, taped large blunt tips etc, but do not go with a rat or blade style tool if it can be avoided (proper access).
Why a heat gun?
HEAT, when properly used (see us for a class sonny if you dont know how to use heat)
will soften paint and make it less prone to spider and crack. When to use you ask?When you big daddy dent is near or through a bodyline or panel edge or curved bodyline (see Ford Taurus for example).
So, use the heat as you know how and soften the paint to eliminate paint spidering when the potential exists.
OK- If you do NOT have good access:
Try using a suction cup or LARGE glue puller head to shrink and remove the majority of the dent, then come back with something smaller to finish. Do not use a sharp tool simply because a brace or other obstruction precludes you from getting to the big boy. Paintless Dent repair offers you options..use them to get results that pros get. Never settle for less with your paintless dent removal repairs!!
