Like any modern car, your vehicle can get damaged by various factors, such as hail and road debris. Although it can certainly look damaged, restoring your car’s original beauty may not require a lengthy and costly repair. Regardless of hail damage, Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) may be an option if your paint is intact.
What Is Paintless Dent Repair?
Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) is also referred to as Paintless Dent Removal. It is a method to restore a vehicle’s body to its pre-damaged, almost perfect condition. This non-aggressive procedure can be used to remove small dents, and it is ideal for fixing damage to the body if the paint is intact.
Paintless Dent Repair Versus Traditional Dent Repair Process
Paintless Dent Repair is different from the traditional dent repair that we already know. Traditional dent repair involves filling in car body dents with paint, body filler and then painting the vehicle to match its exterior. This process is more costly than PDR and takes longer. It can also negatively impact the car’s resale value.
PDR does not use fillers and can be more effective. It treats the root cause of the dent problem. It is definitely a sustainable and longer-lasting option for your dent problem.
What Can ( PDR ) Paintless Dent Repair Fix?
PDR is used to remove dents from cars and to repair exterior damage caused by environmental toxins and natural elements such as hail. If there is no paint damage, it can fix small dents and larger dents of up to several inches in diameter.
Each dent is unique. It is impossible that dents have the same shapes and sizes as they appear on your car’s exterior. Thus, their shapes and sizes can impact the repairability of your car using PDR, even if the paint is still fine and intact.
As mentioned, the excellent condition of the paint is the primary factor to determine if the dents can still be repaired using PDR. Therefore, repainting or touch-up is advisable even if the dent is small and the paint is damaged. It is to preserve the metal body of your car and avoid rusting.
If this condition occurs, Traditional Dent Repair will come in as a solution. It is a more invasive technique required for deeper dents or pits that have further destroyed the paint and the metal.
Conclusion
If you have your car dented from a hailstorm or any accidents, but the paint is still intact, Paintless Dent Repair is best for your car.
Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) is most effective for small to medium-sized dents. However, it can also be used on larger dents. The deeper and the bigger the dent is, the more challenging the PDR is.
It is possible to repair the damage yourself to save money, but hiring professionals to fix your car can be more cost-effective.
