PDR requires a lot of hand eye coordination and patience. You ll buy the tool have a go and regret not getting a professional to do it. Shouldn't be more then $100 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/90178-small-dent/#findComment-1533224 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the link....I might give it a go on the POS car....I'm sure I can't make it any worse (and there's like 6 dents; so definitely not worth spending hundreds to fix the problem).

I'm in WA...most services here are more expensive. I remember ringing one mob years ago and they wanted like $80 per dent. How could I make it worse? Instead of a dent inwards, the worse I could make it is a dent outwards right? I.e. over correcting it? If that makes sense lol But yeah...might ring around next time I'm bored and if it is that cheap, then maybe I won't risk it.

XRSEXT Member 235 Member For: 12y 10m 17d Gender: Male Posted 05/03/15 10:45 PM Share Posted 05/03/15 10:45 PM its not just a matter of the dent being inwards or the dent outwards.. you may remove the dent but could end up with ripples instead if not done right.. Just have a good look around and you will find eventually find somebody decent who wont charge you an arm and a leg to repair the damage.. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/90178-small-dent/#findComment-1533422 Share on other sites More sharing options...
