Remove Suitable Dents Without Repainting
Paintless Dent Removal, commonly known as PDR, is a specialist repair method used to remove certain dents and dings without the need for conventional filling, sanding and repainting.
What Is Paintless Dent Removal?
PDR uses specialist tools and techniques to carefully manipulate the damaged metal panel back towards its original shape. When the damage is suitable, this can restore the panel's appearance while retaining the vehicle's original paintwork.
Unlike conventional body repairs, a suitable PDR repair does not require the affected area to be filled and repainted. This makes it a useful option for certain dents where the paint surface remains intact.
Types Of Dents We Can Assess
Door Dents
Minor dents and dings to suitable door panels, often caused by car park incidents or everyday contact.
Parking Damage
Small dents caused by everyday parking incidents, subject to the condition and position of the affected panel.
Minor Panel Dents
Suitable shallow dents to vehicle body panels where the original paint surface has not been damaged.
Selected Creases
Certain shallow creases may be suitable for PDR, depending on their depth, location and the shape of the panel.
Retaining The Original Factory Finish
One of the main benefits of suitable paintless dent removal is that the original paint finish can be retained. Because the repair does not involve repainting the panel, it can help preserve the vehicle's original finish.
Every dent is different, so the suitability of PDR needs to be assessed before work begins. We'll inspect the damage and explain whether paintless dent removal is a suitable option or whether a conventional body repair would be more appropriate.
Specialist Knowledge. Proven Experience.
Hail damage can affect multiple panels and create complex patterns of dents across a vehicle. Successfully assessing and repairing this type of damage requires specialist knowledge, experience and a detailed understanding of paintless dent removal techniques.
Our technician's experience includes working on international hail damage projects, bringing valuable specialist expertise to the PDR service available through AAA Smart Repair Norwich.
Not Every Dent Can Be Removed This Way
The success and suitability of paintless dent removal depends on several factors. The size, depth and location of the dent all play a part, as does the condition of the original paintwork.
Dents with stretched metal, sharp damage, inaccessible areas or cracked paint may require a different repair method.
We'll assess the damage before recommending the most appropriate approach.
What We Look At
- Size and depth of the dent
- Position and accessibility of the panel
- Condition of the original paintwork
- Whether the metal has been stretched
- Shape and location of the damage
- Whether PDR is the right repair method
