No. Today's original factory finishes are very flexible and will not be damaged in any way by this process. Although if your vehicle has had a previous paintwork repair we may not be able to carry out PDR due to the finish not being as durable.

No. The most important factors in determining if a dent can be repaired by Paintless Dent Repair are depth and location. Dents the size of a dinner plate or larger can be fixed successfully, as long as they are not too deep. On the other hand, some dents that are as small as a penny, but very deep, cannot be fixed using Paintless Dent Repair because the metal is stretched. Sometimes we are unable to carry out a repair due to manufacturers design including bracing inside doors and panels to increase rigidity and safety, although we do carry a variety of tools to overcome and work around these obstructions. Sometimes it may be simply impossible to repair a dent that is inaccessible. If there is no access due to bracing behind the dented panel then glue pulling is a option - but this can only be carried out on the original factory paintwork. If glue pulling is used on a poor, previously refinished panel, the glue pull could easily tear the paint and possibly filler from the panel! This is obviously undesirable for the customer and the PDR technician. We typically avoid any repair where the paint is scratched or damaged, these are jobs for the body shop only. Cracked paint can also be an indication that a dent is too deep. The most common dents fixed are the size of a golf ball and under. About 95% of minor dents can be repaired, leaving about 5% of minor dents that can't be fixed due to depth or location.

It has become common practice by many Paintless Dent Repair technicians to drill or punch holes in places like door shuts, quarter panels, inner wheel arches etc to gain access to a dent with their tools. We will always take the extra time to try and repair a dent without drilling. In the event that there is no other way to repair a dent except to drill a small hole, it will be plugged with a factory looking grommet.***See bottom of page for images of this process
