Understanding Paintless Dent Repair

Paintless dent repair (PDR) is a great way to remove minor dents and dings from the body of your car. Also commonly known as paintless dent removal, this method can be used for a wide range of damages, but only if the paint surface is intact. Often used to repair hail damage, bodylines damage, minor creases and door dings, PDR works on both aluminum and steel panels. Even if your car needs painting, the method can still be use to prep the damaged panel, therefore reducing the need for body filler and also reducing your costs. Paintless dent repair is not only quicker, but also a more affordable way of repairing this type of damage. Contact CARSTAR Newport in Newport, OR to find out more about our PDR process and technique.

The Technique Behind PDR

There are basically two ways to perform paintless dent repairs: from the inside (pushing the dents out), or from the outside (pulling them out). Whichever method they choose, the technicians will have to manipulate the metal at the right height and in the precise locations. To repair dents and dings from the inside, they'll utilize metal rods and body picks, while fixing creases from the outside requires glue and specially designed tabs. The exact method is greatly influenced by the location of the damage, the size and the extent to which the paint has been stretched. In many cases, even though paintless dent repair is not a viable solution to fix the damage, it can still be used before repainting, as a way to reduce or eliminate the use of body filler.
