Paintless Dent Repair, also called PDR, is the process of removing small dents, door dings or hail
damage dents from the metal panels of a vehicle. This is done with special PDR tools like metal rods and hammers, that are used to gently push out the damage from the inside and outside of the panel.
PDR, also known as Paintless Dent Repair or Paintless Dent Removal, is the method used to repair hail damage, door dings, body creases, and minor dents on a vehicle. As its name suggests, PDR does not involve any paint or fillers. Compared to standard dent repair, paintless dent repair restores a vehicle to like-new condition in a way that is faster, less expensive, and even more environmentally friendly then regular car painting.
Another PDR meaning is Paint-Free Dent Repair. Which is almost the same as paintless dent repair or removal. The point is the paint job is done without any painting or repainting job to your vehicle, and very important will keep the resale value of your car or truck and the quality of the original factory paint. No matter how good the second paint job is done it will automatically will effect the integrity or your vehicle.
How does PDR work?
Professional and Highly-skilled technicians will use special tools. For instance body picks or/and metal rods that will push the dents out from the inside of the vehicle.
Usually KNBService PDR trained technician does assess the damage as the first thing before using any tools. The purpose is to find and estimate how big is the dent and how it can be improved, to see whether the PDR approach will work for the job.
The next coming steps is to be able to access to the back side of the dent whether it’s frame or the fender like area. The other parts of the car, like headlamps, most likely will have to be temporarily removed to access all parts of the vehicle panels. When technician can get clear pathway to the dent, we can start the PDR process safely that will prevent damage to the other parts of the car.
KNB Service technician will push the dent outward while trying to restore the exterior to its original factory paint condition. PDR is not a easy task if not properly asses it is a carefully honed craft for high end skilled paint professionals.
