Paintless Dent Repair
Paintless Dent Repair, otherwise know as PDR is a method of repairing dents in body panels when the paint surface is still intact.
Paintless dent repair is often used to repair minor damage like door dings or creases but can also be used in more complicate hail damage repairs and larger dents and bodyline damage.
We also call it ‘push to paint’ when working on damaged panels and trying to minimize the use of body filler before repainting.

How We Do It - Paintless Dent Repair (PDR)
It takes dozens of odd looking tools and a whole lot of patience! Techniques include using an assortment of metal rods and body picks to push dents out from the underside of the body panel. Specially designed tabs can also be glued to the outside of the panel and used as pulls… It’s an intricate and what may look like tedious process.
Assessing The Damage - When Does PDR Work?
The first step to performing a dent repair without using paint involves assessing the dent itself and determining if a paintless dent repair is even possible. According to most experts, 80 to 90 percent of dents can be repaired using PDR techniques. However, there are a certain percentage of dents that are impossible to repair without following it up with a paint job. The following types of dents usually fall into this “non-PDR” category:
- Very deep dents – Even very large dents can be repaired using PDR if the dent is fairly shallow. However, if a dent of any size is pushed in too far, the metal can’t be bent back into place without damaging the paint and requiring repainting.
- Dents near edges – If a dent of any size is situated near the very edge of a body panel or near a seam, PDR repair may be impossible. The reason for this is that in order to repair a dent using these techniques, you need to access the back side of the dent.
- The dent has a crease – If there is a sharp crease (like a folded page) in the dent, PDR likely will not work.
- Older vehicles – If your vehicle is older than 1990 or is a classic car, the odds are good that attempting paintless repair techniques on a dent will damage the paint. This is because the paint quality on older body panels can’t withstand the strain of the repair techniques.
- Paint damage – If there is existing paint damage in the dent (usually on the edge of the center), then there’s no getting around the fact that you’ll need to repaint the area.
- Paintless Dent Repair is an industry recognized repair process.
Benefits of Paintless Dent Repair (PDR)
Paintless dent repair or PDR has several benefits over traditional body shop repair techniques. It is typically faster because the entire process of sanding, filling, priming and repainting is avoided. Another large advantage with paintless dent repair is that the factory paint finish is left intact and there is no concern about matching paint or other surface finish types of issues.
