Tried heat to pop a dent on a 2019 Civic fender and cooked the clear coat
Saw a guy on YouTube use a heat gun and compressed air to pop a dent, so I tried it on a silver 2019 Civic fender last Tuesday and the clear coat went cloudy in about 8 seconds. Learned the hard way that heat works on plastic bumpers, not steel panels with factory paint, so now I keep a hair dryer on low for the plastic stuff and PDR tools for metal. Anyone got a temp range they actually trust for painted steel, or do you just avoid heat there completely?

Heat on factory steel paint is just asking for trouble. Leave that to the PDR guys and stick with heat for plastic only, lol.
