There's a better way to deal with tank dents…

My life got better when I got a bike with a plastic tank cover.  Magnetic tanks bags are a problem, yes, but that's a small price to pay for never having to worry about handlebar dents.  But if you are in the metal tank world, you don't have to bondo and paint every ding.  The best way is what they do here to the hood of this Porsche.  I heard about shops that did this back in the 80's, and it was always considered the "black art" of body shops. Being able to manipulate the metal instead of banging on it, a skilled craftsman can "push" out a dent without doing more damage that requires bondo and paint.  I've never seen anyone do it up close until this - so if you're interested check it out.
