I (kind of) fixed a moderate dent on my rear bumper.
It only took a hammer and a stick of wood155b6c9862d843ad978d3ceaabbe06fc.jpgd42bd81c0c26f9c0a2267d42bd3b29a7.jpg

No flaking whatsoever. That's why you need a piece of wood to dampen the hit by the hammer while also providing a larger flat surface to straighten the bumper.
I can see flaking happening if you hit the bumper directly with hammer

Thank you for letting me know. I was about to spend 300$ on a new bumper for this:

Give it a shot. I'm a bit of an OCD guy, so I couldn't stand it for more than 5 days. Once it stopped raining I put myself to work. It took me only about 10 minutes

How large was the block of wood? Cause I have s similar dent from someone tapping my bumper a few yrs back.

Width was 2" square by 8" long.
I also pushed the stick of wood against the inner part of the bumper and used the bumper support as a pivot to push the dent out.

I thought you meant hooligan but I learned a new word today.

https://www.quora.com/What-does-Hoonigan-mean

To hoon means to behaving in a rude and aggressive way, especially driving in a dangerous way. A person who hoons, that is, drives in a reckless manner, is called a hoonigan. A hoonigan often does drifting, burnouts, drag racing, etc

Hoonigan Racing named their company after this it seems.
