Thumbs up Forming Dents in Lexan Honcho

Ok...so ive had my Honcho for over a year...its been threw some motors, bearings...and ive recently painted it the "freshen" it up....but i love that it has lasted so long so i wanted to have my Honcho show the wear and tear...

So this is my first attempt at making some Body Damage

i carefully heated the area with a bbq lighter until the area gets soft...

Then i lightly press (item of your choosing) into the soft area to get your desired dent size...

I had to reheat the area a few times to get it how i wanted it

DONT HEAT TOO HOT! WILL MELT A HOLE!

heres the results.....enjoy!

im always open to advice!

Nice work I think a jagged rock would be a good item to use to for making dents maby give it some texture.

Drivers side looks a little uniform, but the passenger side is very realistic looking! Very good job

I like the passenger side as well. I wonder if doing a larger area with a heat gun would work better.
