Motorcycle Dent Removal - Harley Davidson Sportster Gas Tank Paintless Dent Repair

[@willd9739]

This process is an art form it should not be performed by do-it-yourselfers, this was an absolute professional job and it is one of the only three times I've seen someone get this kind of crease out. Your work was flawless and you're definitely an artist. I've been in the restoration business for over 30 years and we have a guy that comes by and does this type of work and he is absolutely amazing and you definitely matched his expertise. Outstanding video.

@@ProPDRofGa what do you do when a dent is on the opposing side of the gas cap when it's asymmetric located all the way ok the opposite side with a tank divider/anti slosh plate inside?

[@ProPDRofGa]

@@jonathangarzon2798 if there is no way to get a tool to it from within the tank then most likely it will not be repairable with PDR. Glue pulling is an option but it’s rarely effective on tanks.

Very Awesome work on that Harley tank Ive owned and rode many Motorcycles in my life I’m 56 years old and bt far that was one of the best gas tank repairs ive ever seen on one messed up that badly more importantly a Paintless repair Ive always wondered why no one has made a Elecro Magnet repair system that would allow you to insert shaped Steel peices inside the tank and pull using a very strong magnetic force of course with that very cool Vise set up you have and your process perhaps there is no need to do repairs any other way i’m quite impressed that you got that sharp crease out as well as you did i know years ago petiole used to build weird contraptions to try and reach all parts of the tanks thru the fuel holes one time at a Flea Market in Florida a group of guys were selling off their contents of a Motorcycle repair shop they closed and they had a box of all these weird shaped items they welded up so i inquired about them and thats what they used to try and straighten damaged tanks as much as they could before they sent them to a painter i didnt have a need for the box so i passed it up and bought some other things they had that i could use living and riding in Florida all the sand on the roads could pit a face shield pretty quickly so i bought some NOS they had then shared them with freinds for my cost which was close to a dollar each

They actually are impossible, this is total BS, the end of the video is the original undamaged tank. Don't be so gullible. When you dent your gas tank it's going to need to be stripped, pulled, filled, primed, sanded, based, and cleared... or it's gonna be in the garbage.

I’m here because I have dents in my tank. I bought a PDR “kit” off Amazon for less than $20. Had two pullers, a scraper, some glue sticks and the pieces you glue to the dented area. I had very low expectations but figured for $20 it was worth a shot. To my surprise 90% of the dent came out after 1 failed attempt and 2 good pulls. The dent is barely there now. The dent was the size of a a baseball and as deep as 3/4 of a inch. All but a tiny bit is gone. I used gorilla glue sticks due to the sticks from the kit being too small for my glue gun. The 2nd pull which was really the first real pull blew my mind watching the dent come up right in from of my eyes. Then the next pull really shrank the dent to almost nothing. After that I could not get more of it out and burnt the shit out of my thumb, so I boxed it and got to paint correction. Pro PDR guys have my UTMOST respect. I bet that is one heck of a satisfying job. Closest thing I have ever seen to magic. Cool jig for holding tanks. I sure wish we were in the same area. I bet you could make my tank look perfect.

Bobby PDR isn’t priced based on an hourly rate, typically it’s the size of the dent, location, and panel that you’re working on if you’re talking about cars, tank or fender that you’re working on if you’re talking about motorcycles. But I had 9 hours in this one. I remember it was in the 800-900 range but one like this could vary depending on the ease of access inside a tank, the thickness of the metal, and the ease of mounting it to the vice.

[@chrismoore-keish7476]

[@tonichecavalari5956]

You're a Master ! How do you keep from the heat gun changing the shade or tone of the metalic paint ? I repaired a dent and the paint was slightly darkened but it was only visible at certain angles of sun light !

[@ProPDRofGa]

Toniche Cavalari That happened as a result of the metallic flopping, heat does not cause this. When you’re pushing the metal back out if it comes up with a wrinkle here or there it causes the metallic to lay differently so when light hits it at certain angles you will see shadows. Certain paints are very difficult to repair without this happening
