Alright now I'm pissed, I put a ding on the side of my gas tank.
It's just a little dimple, but I hate it. 
WHAT CAN I DO TO FIX IT ?

[sgtstever]

Sit it out in the sun on a nice hot day, get some dry ice, put a towel over the dimple, set the dry ice on it, you'll hear a pop, and presto, dimple-b-gone!  It work for me on my cage and my old bike.  They also sell dent removers at Autozone and O'Rielly's.  Good luck!

Let you gas tank get low and get a paintless dent person fix it.  It should not cost much.

If you can't get it to pop out put a smiley face on the spot or a tatoo of something you like hope the cold trick will work for you good luck!

The dry ice will work most of the time I have done it before. It will not work though if there is a crease in the metal.

Just out of curiosity, does the ice trick damage the paint?  Anything in particular to look out for?  Had never heard of this one before....

Thanks,

I've never had it damage the paint, but like Headguess said, it won't work if there is a crease.
