If it does work, having dry ice on your paint or heating your paint then cooling it down would have to have some kind of adverse affect to paint right?

I don't have a dent but came across the site, could be interesting if/when I do get a dent.

Now that is one kool idea. Is that Instant Freeze stuff you can buy in a can for electronic components the same as what there using in that 2nd video with the hair dryer?

Pressure duster wouldn't work.

I would have thought you would need a CO2 spray.

Maybe the 'Freeze Spray' would be better?

the pressure duster turned upside down did actually turn to ice on my panel
i also tried electrical cleaner just for kicks
but yeh maybe the freeze spray would be the one

Pressure duster won't do it mate. Carbon Dioxide (CO2) will give it a much lower temperature and is the effect you need. Spray some pressure duster on your finger and it will feel cold, CO2 will make ur fingers turn blue and probably give them cold burns. That's the kind of temperature you need.

Dont know if that freeze spray is CO2, but check it out, if it is then your on the money.

I play with dry ice at work all day, and as tempting as it seems to try, the only problem is that it sets pretty fucking hard. Could possibly put little scratches in the paintwork maybe.
