FAQ on Paintless Dent Repair

Not all dents are repairable with Paintless Dent Repair (PDR).
- Feasibility depends on depth and location of the dent.
Size Considerations:
- Dents up to dinner plate-sized can typically be repaired if not too deep.
- Even small, deep dents (dime-sized or smaller) may be irreparable due to excessive metal stretching.
Commonly Repairable Dents:
- Golf ball-sized or smaller dents are the most successfully repaired.
- 95% of minor dents can be fixed using PDR.
- 5% may be irreparable due to depth, location, or stretched metal.
Challenges in Repair:
- Cracked paint is a sign the dent may not be suitable for PDR.
- Stretched dents might still be repairable by shrinking the metal using specialized equipment.
- Difficult areas:
  - Quarter panel opening lips
  - Reinforced sections of hoods
  - Panel edges
Alternative Techniques:
- Glue pulling method can be used when there’s no direct access behind the panel.

Customer Expectations:
- PDR is highly effective for minor dents.
- Larger or deeper dents are more challenging but often yield impressive results.
