Hubcap metal work

I just got in a set of gmc hubcaps that need some love. They all have dents and one is definitely going to take a lot of work. I have a generic set of body hammers and dollies but would something like a metalworking sandbag help?

Re: Hubcap metal work

Those are cool!!
Like everything else ,each tool has its place..
Ive used a bag of lead shot on some things I've done
If your not gonna use it a lot I dont know if the cost would be worth it to you..
Before I got the lead bag, I used a couple of layers of cardboard laying on a board, that worked fairly good

Re: Hubcap metal work

Nice

I have a Square and a round bag full of lead shot.

Like everything else the lead shot price is thru the roof

Here is a bag at a reasonable price in the link below.

I probably would just use it this one time. I figured the cost might be worth it if it makes it easier for me to smooth these back out.
