Not on a bike tank Ash but i have had it done on SWMBO car door and it worked fine. No sign of the dent and no paintwork required.

I used a paintless dent removal (PDR) company in Bournemouth to remove a dent in my Bonneville tank.
It didn't turn out too well, as the tank showed where the hammer had caused dimples on the tank's surface.
As it wasn't to the company's exacting standards, they didn't charge me - still left the guy a few bob for a pint or two, though.
For a respray without great lumps of filler, it'd be worth it.
As it was, I have left it with the dimples, and not many people notice them.
I think the problem with bike tanks is the thickness - car panels tend to be thin and easily malleable.

There's a company who advertise sometimes in CB based in Hull called Rapier (01482 212690) who advertise dent removal. You could give them a ring? I've never used them.

Ash - I’ve used these guys a few times with good results..

Worth a try - but not cheap.
