Dent in Fence

[coresuper]

After uncovering my pontoon to get ready for spring fishing, I noticed this large, round 'ding' in the fence. It is in a bad spot because the other side is in my rod storage bin which is only inches wide. Any ideas on how to get this out?

Hard to hammer that out without damaging the panel worse. Looks like a bullet hit the area,I suppose the tarp slowed it down enough to not chip the paint?
I suppose you could install a running light or reflector over the area,after cutting or hammering it out

I agree. Embrace the dent. It's very hard to remove a blemish like that on a reflective surface. Can you replace the panel in it's entirety?

The metal is stretched you won't pound that out. You say you need the space behind it. How about cutting it out with a metal hole saw and then placing a round design over the hole. Maybe a light as mentioned above or just a cool design.

not sure what you are up against as not a Toon guy bit a block of wood on the backside and a hammer on the front??

You can hammer and dolly it, or call a paintless dent guy

There is an online method using a heat gun (hair dryer) and ice that I've been wanting to try on mine. Another possibility for you is Paintless Dent Removal. Check your local body shops. My daughter just had a sizable dent, courtesy of a shopping cart in the wind, taken out of her car's fender with this method. Cost her $100

I like the idea of covering it with some type of emblem. Thanks for the advice!

I don't think it was from a bullet, but more like a pellet or even a BB. Most any bullet would have gone through that area with out even trying hard. And the tarp would certainly have a hole as well. And removing the could be interesting. Unless you can get to it from the inside, you better chance is to fill, sand, and touch up with paint... JMHO!

looks like someone was mowing a bit to close the boat and you caught a rock!

How about a flush mounted horn, it could almost look like it belonged there. They are available for under $30 online and easy to install.

A Chief arrowhead would have been better...
