Dent repair

Good afternoon,

My wonderful hubby has dented our Eriba when moving the wheelie bin. Can anyone suggest how this may be repaired if possible at all? We have a car dent repair kit but as the finish on the van is eggshell (if you can call it that) I don't think it will work.

Many thanks in advance.

If it's only a small dent it may be easier to cover it with a small reflector or sticker. The trouble with aluminium is that it stretches and it doesn't ping back out like sheet metal on a car.

This is how a dimpled caravan is repaired without cutting out and replacing the aluminium.

When I go on holiday I like to pop my top!
