Advanced Paintless Dent Removal PDR Training

Although this diagram demonstrates a tactical way to remove a big dent with paintless dent repair, it is highly recommended to get professional one-on-one PDR training to gain the fullest benefits.

This PDR dent was attacked using a glue pulling method and finished off with lots of crown work and precision pushing with steel rods. We would like to stress, there were many steps between the photos to get this dent completely out. A big dent like this requires high experience and patience to get satisfactory results. We will in the future post a video of how much of a monster and challenging paintless dent repair this was.

Knowing how to remove big dents is all about knowing how to finish. If you can’t finish a small pitted ding, you won’t be able to finish a big dent. Big dents have many elements that are involved in a repair such as; crowns, trapped pressure, knocking down, tool selection, where to start and how to finish.

What’s the difference between Ding vs. Dent?



When it comes to paintless dent removal/repair (PDR), there are ways to categorize types of dents. So, what’s the difference? Simple.

“Door Ding”

A ding or more commonly known as a “door ding” is considered no bigger than the size of a quarter. Although these types of dings are considered common repairs made by Dent Time of San Diego and most other PDR companies around the country. Door dings can also range in price depending on how sharp, location and access. The average time to repair a typical door ding ranges between 15 minutes to an hour. Multiple dings on multiple panels vary between 1-2 hours.

“Dents”

A dent is considered the size of a silver dollar or bigger. In general, a dent is sharper, bigger and require more time to remove. Depending where it is located on the panel, the PDR technician must determine access points for leverage as well. Again, prices vary depending on depth, location, and access. The average repair time for removing a common dent about the size of a grapefruit is between 1-2 hours. Multiple dents vary between 1-4 hours.

“Creases”

A crease is considered a dent or ding that has a line shape indentation in the metal panel. This type of crease can vary in width, length and depth. A crease is also considered one of the most difficult repairs to achieve for most common PDR companies. A good reason for this would be to say that it is like folding a piece of paper and then trying to iron the line out. If not performed correctly, you will still be left with a smaller or thinner line. With this in mind, it is strongly considered to choose an experienced PDR company who specializes in creases and complex dents like ourselves. Average repair time for a single crease varies between 30 minutes to 2 hours.
