Minor dents on a car’s bodywork could result from a small bump while parking or from wear and tear. To fix them, you simply need to use paintless dent repair (PDR). This somewhat delicate operation can be done yourself or with the help of a professional.
How do you do paintless dent repair?
First and foremost, to perform paintless dent repair, the paintwork must be intact. If it isn’t, you’ll need to use a completely different method. Currently, there are two distinct methods for performing paintless dent repair:
The push method: depending on the diameter of the dent, a small tool is used to apply pressure to the back of the bodywork until it is properly straightened.
- And the pull method: this requires a special dent repair suction cup, which is placed over the dent to suction it until it is straightened. Is paintless dent repair risky? Many drivers worry that paintless dent repair (PDR) could damage the bodywork and paint (see our review of inflatable paint booths). But it’s important to note that there’s nothing to fear, especially if it’s done by a professional. Could you do PDR yourself? At a body shop, PDR can cost up to €300. And if you don’t want to incur this expense, you can certainly do it yourself. However, before proceeding, it’s crucial to choose your PDR kit carefully. The market offers a vast selection, and to help you find a reliable product, here are a few kits our team recommends: Kraftmann kit:
