The answer is generally yes. The deeper the dent, the more difficult it is to repair. The location and the shape of the dent can also play a huge part on what the outcome will look like. In some situations the dent is not accessible from the back of the panel, in many cases it is double metal, a brace, noise damping material, or other integrated part. This can prevent us from completely repairing the imperfection. Even on larger dents, once we’re done, most people are amazed at the results. We always explain in detail, how your dent will look before any work is started.
No. Today’s factory paints are very flexible and will not be damaged in any way by this process. Paintless dent repair is the only way to repair a dent and still keep your factory paint.
Their are many benefits to doing PDR over a conventual repair. Pointless dent repair is the closest you can get to the dent never happening in the first place. No grinding, bondo, fillers, or primers are needed because your original factory paint is not disturbed. In todays cars paint colors are extremely complex, with the use of pearls and metallics and multiple coats, with PDR you don’t have to worry about the possibility of color not perfectly matching. There are no problems with filler or paint shrinkage months after the repair as is typical with most body shop repairs. To most customers the most important benefit is cost, PDR is a bargain compared to conventional body repairs, and time savings is yet another advantage. That same dent can be fixed in less than an hour. A body shop will take 3 – 5 days or longer.
