Many dents will roll out pretty darn good, but not perfectly. More often than not, a wee bit of filler will be needed to complete the job, prior to painting.

Funny thing is, I plan on rolling out a few dents this week. I have a Marinoni with a tiny boo-boo, a Steve Bauer with a bigger boo-boo and a Raleigh Competition that just might not respond well to some gentle block rolling treatments;-(

Every time you show the picture of that Raleigh I want to cry. The unfortunate timing... The unknown fate... I shall be interested to see how the dents roll out on that frame.
