I SAVED This SMASHED In Door With Paintless Dent Removal | Dent Remover UK

[@riverside2096]

Great work. It may be cheaper to replace and repaint the panel, but the finished result will never be as good as the original paint and finish. This is the real value in PDR - being able to retain the original panels and paint finish. I would prefer to pay more for PDR than the always lesser quality aftermarket paint finish. Well done!

[@dentremover01]

Thank you Riverside for your great comment I appreciate that and you’re absolutely right. I think Paintless Dent Removal as an Alternative repair method is massively under rated and that’s why I push my repairs over the internet to educate people on this amazing technique Thanks again Martin

[@riverside2096]

No matter what anybody says, even the real experts in paint refinishing can never match the finish quality of your run off the mill cars of today. You can always spot a repaired/refinished panel - not just paint but also seam filling etc. Dirt nibs and fish eyes are common too - and the painter never get rid of all of them meaning you have to either take it back to them again! or live with an imperfect finish. I have tried plenty of so called gun panel shops and there has always been some kind of imperfection that I pick up. Drives me nuts, but over time you get worn down and your standards drop. At least with PDR, there is no paint or panel issues - if you use the correct lights you are essentially going over the panel with a fine tooth comb as part of your quality control.

[@dentremover01]

Great comment thank you so much

[@ADontIDo]

If the car is common enough you can find a door of the same color for $500 or so from a junkyard. Judging by what OP has for tools and the time he put into this... the job cost far more than $500.

[@dentremover01]

Thanks for your comment. There’s a lot of ways to look at this and while you are correct that you could by a SH door or panel for the car, if your not bothered about a slight difference in shade too then it’s perfectly fine to do this. I swapped a Nissan juke door the other month, the guy bought a SH door for £300 and I swapped it (internals etc) for 150 +vat A dent repair could be a similar price but you keep the panel original to the car and the paint isn’t an issue. Please don’t forget I also have a business to run, so the way I repair damage is with PDR. Many people want this type of repair rather than chance a SH panel or a repair and paint. Same goes for other businesses it’s all about personal preference and choice. This yellow wing repair and similar would be around the 500 +vat mark And fixed within a day. No taxis or missed days off work for the customer

[@JohnSmith-it6hj]

if it was something like a focus or astra, would probably be more cost effective to replace, that Volvo door would cost a bomb so this repair made sense, even if he got is straight enough for filler would be worth the effort.

Super impressive. I helped a friend with a dent someone left in her quarter panel. I do not have even 1/10 of your skill or tools. It worked out okay with some minor imperfections you would have worked out. I told her to see an artist like yourself to get it perfect. She did not have the money to spend for a professional. You are a good friend for spending so much time on this. I can see why most shops replace the door skin and paint it, but your result is better to keep the factory skin and paint intact.

[@dentremover01]

[@SuperRealityKid]

I am fascinated by your techniques and skills. I had a £1000 quote from a bodyshop to repair a small dent below a ridge line on my Jag door. The quote included £330 for "paint and materials"😳. When I asked them to justify it, they suggested I might get it done cheaper elsewhere. So I have done it myself with encouragement from your brilliant videos of your work. Of course, I am nowhere near as skilled or equipped as you but I have achieved a very passable result using hot melt pullers and gently knocking back the high spots. The result has left me with a very small repair, unfortunately not be paintless because it was scraped when the car was reversed into a concrete plant pot. Thanks.

[@dentremover01]

Great result! It would be interesting to see a cost comparison with other methods of repair.

[@dentremover01]

Thank you. I did ask a bodyshop to price a new door and repaint. It’s in the description for you to see the break down. My repair was cheaper than a new door +paint BUT it’s not always down to cost- if a customer is just shopping for the cheapest repair method then I’m not interested in spending the time and skill to save a panel like this. I’m an ex panel beater and can repair this in many ways, filler, door skin, second hand door. Then you need to pick a good painter but if it’s cost that’s the main focus there are super cheap painters but it will look absolutely crap- and then the owners wasted all that money Lots of factors involved but I know my repair was done to the highest standard and I should be awarded for the work =not cheap price!

[@Clapclips98]

Good job. And one advice when you use pdr shrinking box when panel is got hot directly apply ice 🧊 to the back side of the panel and it will make it reshape do it several times tell panel get reshape

[@dentremover01]

Thanks for great advice. I don’t have any ice at work unfortunately I did however use a spray (ice cold) and also heaps of cold water and a rag. It may have slightly helped like we do when panel beating with a torch. But as the power PDR box uses frequencies to shrink the metal it’s not needed. Trust me I tried ABSOLUTELY everything to shrink this like I said in my video The best method was a low power and voltage on the power box. Using water or ice back side could make the panel rust if not cleaned properly Great observation though 🙌🏼
