Full Monty Member 513 Member For: 17y 7m 19d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 06/02/08 02:53 AM Share Posted 06/02/08 02:53 AM Hi Guys, Ive got a PDR tech coming over on friday arvo to inspect and remove a couple of minor (5 cent peice sized dings.will take before and after pics to show the result for those interested.For those that dont know, Paintless Dent Removal is the art of gently massaging the inner side of the panel to remove the dent using specialty tools. Much cheaper than visiting a panel shop which usually requires a respray of the affected panel, and if you have metallic paint like me, hard to get it looking just right.will post a report once done.

Dent pushers will get about $1500 for their work and the panel shop will charge you $3000 for nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole family and a lot of friends have had it done also.The place I used, utilised a sliding scale to charge per dint - more dints, less $/dint. Was very happy with the result - lucky I haven't had to use him for the T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
