I'm getting my panelwork ready for paint stripping and paint prep, with almost all metalwork complete. However, my front wings (fenders) have quite some dents which I would like to get out as much as possible, to minimise the amount of filler which goes in.
I've watched some videos online and it seems a shrinking disc can be used with good effect. I don't have a 9" grinder and most of the panels would be too large, but I see 5" versions available 'for smaller spaces'. Has anyone got decent results with a 5" disc?
As well as the dented front wings, I have long dents along the bottoms of the doors where the skin has been pushed in by soft, dragging contact along some blunt object (almost no scraping or scoring). Can a shrinking disc help this kind of dent, where it is hard to get contact onto the back of the door skin?
I would appreciate your experienced opinion on this, whether it's worth shipping over a disc, or whether I should stay with a hammer and dolly.
