My uncle swore by using a heat gun on a quarter panel for 20 minutes before pulling a dent
Tried it on a 2015 Civic in the shop last Tuesday, and the paint bubbled up like a bad sunburn. Anyone know a better trick for cold metal?

Oof, that's rough. A heat gun on a panel for that long is way too much direct heat, you'll cook the paint every time. For cold metal, you gotta use a torch with a wide, soft flame and keep it moving constantly, never letting it sit in one spot. Just warm the metal enough to take the chill off, you don't want it hot to the touch.
