Anyone done any PDR - Paintless Dent Removal

[mitch96]

5. I have had it done to a few cars. Usually just before I've sold them. Amazing how they do it.

The first time I had it done was a by a guy who worked on high end sports cars.. He would access the back of the dent and use polished stainless steel rods to work the steel till it had a slight crown and then would use a soft hammer to make it level. No paint work required. He did a good bit of time but it was always flawless. If he could not get to the back of the dent he would drill a hole on the inside and get to it with his magic rods. Then put. a very professional cap over the hole and it looked like a "factory" item. He could not do anything with a crease in it though.
Over the years the prices went up and I think the last time was about $100 for two small (quarter and half dollar) size dents. Well worth the price considering what it would cost to have the panel painted.
