Have you ever been able to see a small, minor dent on your car? Panicking of making the long list of expensive paint jobs and scheduling this in with your auto collision center. Don’t fret. Small and minor dents can be solved with Paintless Dent Repairs. This is also known as Paintless Dent Removals, where this describes a method of removing minor dents from the body of a motor vehicle. A wide range of damage can be repaired using PDR is applicable as long as the paint exterior surface is intact. PDR may be used on both aluminum and steel panels.
Hail damage, door dings, minor creases, large dents and bodylines damage are the most common practical use for PDRs.
The method can also be utilized to prepare a damaged panel for repainting by minimizing the use of body filler. This technique is currently known as "push to paint" or "push for paint". This can save insurance companies and consumers thousands of dollars.
Limiting factors for a successful repair using PDR include the flexibility of the paint and the extent to which the metal has been stretched by the damage, which depends on the thickness of the metal, the flatness where the damage occurred and the intensity of the impact. Generally speaking, the shallower the dent, the greater the likelihood of paintless dent repair being a suitable option. Even dents several inches in diameter can be repaired by this method as long as the metal and paint are not stretched. Most experienced technicians can repair a shallow large dent or crease to an acceptable level, but very sharp dents and creases may not be suitable for PDR.
