Doesn’t explain in detail but he claims he will give out the details in a new dvd coming out called glue pull practicals.

New Website for Dent Time is Coming Along - Auto Reconditioning

Ξ August 19th, 2009 | → 0 Comments | ∇ Automotive Reconditioning News |

Dent Time Paintless Dent Repair / Removal San DiegoDent Time is currently building a live prototype site called www.DentRepairSanDiego.com that will become the official site of DentTime.com Although this domain will remain live, DentTime.com is planning to have a similar site with a bit more goodies.

Myke Toledo who is the President of Dent Time, LLC works on his own websites and thoughtfully plans out a mega information site for his future customers. From high definition educational videos to informative FAQ’s pages that give the visitor all the information they could ever need. Myke Toledo says he wants the visitor to have the choice to read or watch about the services offered. Also inform his future clients why there is a difference between companies and quality. “I have a lot of passion for the auto recon industry and so why not show it”, says Myke Toledo. Myke also states his goal is to have his site become the most interactive site with live video streaming, chat and online training sessions. He’s already been creating pdr training downloads and free videos to view on Youtube.

He doesn’t quite know when he will launch the new site but it’s a matter of feel and being satisfied. “It seems I’m never satisfied and I feel I have a disease. Every time I think I am happy with my work, I think I can do better.”, Myke explains. “That is my biggest problem and sometimes it holds me back.” Myke told us that he has a lot of open projects and in between that, he consults other companies and trains pdr privately to students from all over the world. Training was another motivation for creating a new web site so his future students can actually educate themselves why there is a difference where you get your pdr training and how.

Keep checking out www.DentRepairSanDiego.com for Myke Toledo’s latest updates.

Ξ March 29th, 2009 | → 0 Comments | ∇ Automotive Reconditioning News |

We are about to release the new download regarding another body line PDR tutorial. Since the M35 tech article tutorial, we have had many requests to do another. So by demenad, we did. As before, we explain the different ways and techniques how it’s completed step by step.

Paintless Dent Repair has come a long way and so has the advanced ways on how to inform, train and advise new PDR techs how to practice good habits. As mentioned previously from other posts, it’s always best to obtain good personal one-on-one PDR training but in most cases, it can be hard to afford and take the time off to train.

Please understand, we try our best to put together an informative and well designed tech articles. In many cases, we can not always demonstrate every technique in every article. That is why we try to publish multiple articles of the same type of dents so we can cover differnt perspectives.

Look out for the new Body Line PDR tutorial to hit the market on April 1st!

Why Some Factory Bumpers Don’t Match - Mobile Bumper Repair

Ξ October 21st, 2008 | → 0 Comments | ∇ Automotive Reconditioning News |

Facts On Bumper Color - Mobile Bumper / Scratch Paint Repair

This post is to inform the public why the factory original color of bumper and trim pieces may not match the rest of the vehicle from the start.

Causes of Color Variations:

#1 A color can vary depending on the substrate on which it is painted. For example, the evaporation rate for solvent varies over metal or plastic. A longer rate gives a flake pigment additional time to “float” and can darken the face of the color.

#2 The body was painted on a production line at the factory, while other parts, such as the bumper and trim were painted at another location using a different application method.

#3 Slight adjustments can be made during application creating a lighter or darker color, causing the metallics or mica elements to lay down differently.

#4 Light reflects differently on curved and flat surfaces causing the appearance of a color shift.

In conclusion, repainting a plastic bumper might have the same effects. Although mobile bumper repair in general matches paint back to factory specifications, it is possible on same repair cases, there would be a slight color shift. This commonly happens with paint colors such as; pearl white, silver and other 3 stage tri coats.
