what have you guys found to be the best way to remove dents from the cabinet and door?  Is there a special tool that I can get to help me with this?

       Assuming you are removing the door liner and inner liner, lay the piece on a flat concrete floor and use a hammer from the inside to tap the dent flat.

Also, you should work in reverse of how the dent occured...start on the outside of the dent and work inward so to speak.

Hello All
Has anyone ever powder-coated their coke machine?  Any benefits? Drawbacks? Does it hurt the collectible value?
thanks

What is the best way to refinish the aluminum parts inside the cabinet?  the Dispensing wheel and all of the metal parts that look like they are oxidized?

your best bet is to clean them reall good.. degrease them, scrub them, sand them slightly and then allow to dry.. then spray them with hammertone or other rustoleum product of your choice... Hammertone will give a nice and durable finish if put on right.. read can.
Good luck,
lets see some photos...

Great, thread thought I would tag my body repair question on to this one as you have touched on many questions I had.

How do you remove a popped in section of the door. What I mean is, this is not so much a dent as it is a large section of the door is bent in slightly.  You know as if someone had put a hip check into it. 

Again, this is pretty slight and just by pushing from the back side of the door it pops back into shape.  Problem is, as soon as I remove pressure it pops right back.  How do I get it to stay popped out so to speak?

Thanks,
Steve

Hey Steve
I would start a new thread and see what kind of response you get.  I wish I could help, but I am a novice...   but learning!  It seems that when you start a new thread, you get some immediate replies...  title it something specific about dents...  good luck and send pics!
