PDR Video - 08-01-2010, 08:55 PM

I recently recorded and edited my first video for the shop.
Thought people here might be interested in seeing it.

I'm going to do more but am currently waiting for Anthony to upgrade my PC so I don't have lag when editing

Fantastic video! I also had always wondered how they did it without damaging the paint and this was a nice look into that world. Great job.


I like beer. On occasion I will even drink a beer to celebrate a major event such as the fall of communism or the fact that our refrigerator is still working.

I'd had this done on my car but never watched the process so I was curious as to how it was done. Thanks for posting this!

Even sometimes I, in a moment of what could only be described as pure sanity, question the rationality of this obsession.

Thanks for the video!!! I also wondered what was involved with PDR!!!!

What kind of FEE do you charge for a dent removal like the one in the video?

For a dent this size we charge 99.00

Prices depend on size, depth and location of the damage.


Here is another one. It's a Lexus dented by a garbage can. Link

Re: PDR Video - 11-08-2010, 01:09 PM

Nice video...I too was interested in how this process was done. I would have liked to have seen the process used on that Lexus..that looked pretty nasty!

I wish i knew more about this..we had a bad hail storm out here a couple weeks back and paintless dent repair was very high in demand to say the least (tennis ball size hail...). I do detailing/paint correction but dent repair would surely be something id like to add to my list of things that i know how to do.

Do you have any suggestions as to where to start learning more about this...what tool(s) are needed and info on anything else you think is worth mentioning?

thanks for the video, nice job!
