COLLISION DAMAGE REPAIRED With GPR & PDR | Paintless Dent Removal UK

[@brendanmatthys3788]

You've inspired me to get my own PDR kit and give it a go myself. After half a day's work, I've improved 3 dents and completely removed 1. Gonna keep going at it until I've got it perfect!

[@jamesward5721]

Martin - I went ahead and built a pulling tower (game changer - thanks for the hints) - saw a US older guy doing doors like that ^^ - he has a tensioning jig that he puts the doors into - it basically stretches the door skin back out horizontally, making the repair a hell of a lot faster & easier. That's next on my "build list" as it makes an awful lot of sense when you give it some thought.

Excellent! Well done James! If you can send some pics over that would be great! Your looking at making a lateral tension puller too?

[@andrewboggis3174]

Nice to see these repairs, my kind of repair being in a bodyshop. Not sure on the flex glue though I haven’t had the best results as yet seems to jump off quite easy even with the ‘6 Cs’ but a bugger to release when you need to ..

[@dentremover01]

Hi Andrew ok the flex glue is like cement! I found that using a 99.9% isopropyl spray and a really hot melting glue gun, use the 6c you should get consistent killer pulls Maybe it’s down to timing? I give small tabs about 10-20 seconds and I find it hard to get them off the panel! Play about with your timings

[@andrewboggis3174]

@@dentremover01 I’m using cordless ryobi gun it’s ment to be 190+ maybe it not quite there to get the glue to temp, don’t get me wrong it’s ok not amazing. I find sill repairs fantastic as I can keep the stone chip in place👌🏼👍🏼

[@Onlinebliss]

Wonderful job Martin. What easy DIY equipment do you recommend for a quick fix of a small dent on only the sill? Also, what are those glue and the rubber grip called? Thanks

[@dentremover01]

Hi Sam thanks for your comment. I’d always recommend speaking to your local tech first to get an idea of how it’s to be repaired. Buying the cheapest glue kit isn’t the best option as it’s just crap glue and plastic. You’d need the proper equipment like keco or Camauto plastic tabs and the PDR glue. Also a hot burning temp glue gun. It may cost you the same in tools as it would a PDR repair Also it may not be fully repairable as sills are a specialist repair (sometimes) again without speaking to a professional your taking a chance and likely wasting money. Il take a look at the video as I don’t know what you mean about the rubber grip, most likely a mini lifter? Hope this helps Thanks Martin

I used drill and had z bars and a j bar to pull it used e Kansas jack system , better than painting it , less dust

[@dentremover01]

Hi Dale. Was this a welded Z bar set up?

[@daledowning1019]

Drilled to holes inserted the z bar in the direction of the other hole In which a j hook went in to catch the Z bar , it was called the two holer , but still had to fill and paint,, I do have a stod welder . When I pulled the dents I kept tension while I was I knocked down the crowns and it was effective . But PDR wás not an option back in the day

[@dentremover01]

@@daledowning1019 I know what you mean. I use to use similar, zigzag wire and weld it on like the crease tabs, and use a lifter with my oriole hooks to lift the damage out. Then fill & Paint. There’s no reason why bodyshops shouldn’t adopt GPR for collision reduction instead of welding and potentially damaging the inside of the panel- which could rust over time Trying to keep the old skills alive is something I’m keen on doing. Just not the mucky/dusty parts!

Hey Martin, with all the hours spent and materials used… how much would a job like this cost?

[@AMindInOverdrive]

You sound like you're in the UK. I'm not in UK, but just curious: Do car insurance companies cover PDR there?

[@dentremover01]

Hi Mark yes I am. And yes the insurance will pay for PDR but customers generally pay for it with their funds instead of using insurance. Mainly because once insurance is used we lose our no claims discount, and they load it on in coming years. Hail repairs are usually insurance paid Thanks Martin

[@420sonni]

What tool do you recommend for measuring dent depth.Is there one for bigger repairs?

[@dentremover01]

Hi Sonni thanks for your comment. Measuring depth can be tricky, I’d say if you run a straight edge over the area then use a ruler to measure from the deepest part of the dent and the straight edge that would give you an accurate depth. But it really depends on how you estimate the damage. On MTRX there’s shallow, medium and deep which the measurements can be added to these buttons. Say your dent is 20mm deep it could be classed as a medium depth, and if you added a 25% upcharge for this, you’d make more money for the added effort in the repair Hope this helps Thanks Martin

[@420sonni]

I just signed if for mobile tech is why I’m asking .i seen that black plague has a depth measurement tool but it’s sold out.do you measure it like you explained to me or use a micrometer of some sort.
