Paintless dent repair (PDR) is a process that is designed to get behind a vehicle’s “skin” and massage dented panels back to their original shape. The process allows technicians to remove hail damage, dings, minor dents and creases without compromising the vehicle’s factory paint job.
The most common practical use for PDR is the repair of hail damage, door dings, minor body creases, and minor bumper indentations. The techniques can also be applied to help prepare the damaged panel for paint. Such applications are referred to as “push to paint”, or “push for paint”.
Limiting factors for a successful repair using PDR include the flexibility of the paint, and the amount the metal has been stretched by the damage incurred. Hence, often extremely sharp dents and creases may not be repairable – at least not without painting afterwards.
