How Paintless Dent Removal (PDR) Works


Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) is a specialized dent repair process that manipulate adjust exterior car body panels or bumpers back to their pre-accident shape. Most types of PDR repairs can be used to remove minor vehicle body panel creases or dings without compromising your vehicle’s external paint. While it may look easy, the PDR process requires a specialized professional with proven experience using precise tools with skilled eye—hand coordination because it is crucial to access to the back side of the dented area by removing panels. Then pressure is applied to skillfully manipulate and massage the dent back to its original position. Some dents or creases require technicians to push out the dents from the metal panel, while other types may require the use of specially designed tabs to pull out the dents from the outside.

Understanding the PDR Process


Paintless Dent Removal (PDR) is an environmentally friendly way to repair minor auto body damage. It’s a more affordable and efficient way to return your car to its original condition. The process of assessing the initial body damage is important because not all dent, ding or crease damage is repairable by using PDR. O. C. Ray will assess your car’s damage to ensure it can be repaired without damaging paint or metal. In all cases though, the technicians are required to manipulate the metal in precise locations, using a PDR reading instrument called paintless dent repair light. It is important for the technician to be able to visualize the deformation of the dent, in order to be able to locate the tip of the tool. As this method of repair is intrinsically manual, it is equally important to have highly experienced and skilled technicians working on your vehicle.

PDR vs. Costly Auto Body Repairs


When your minor auto damage is within the scope of using paintless dent removal (PDR) to fix it, you’re likely going to save a lot of money. This is because smaller dents don’t normally require extensive sanding, applied fillers, or additional paint applications so the repair process takes less time overall and your final cost is less. With more complicated types of exterior car damage, traditional auto body repair shops are required to sand, fill, and match the new paint. This takes more time and is often much more expensive. That is why O. C. Ray assesses your vehicle’s damage immediately to ensure you are getting an quick, honest, and cost-effective dent repair! And if paintless dent removal (PDR) is not an option, we will advise you and suggest other options for you.

Benefits of Professional PDR


The versatility of PDR is that it can often be used to repair hail damage, bodylines damage, minor creases and door dings. The PDR process is also applicable on both aluminum and steel panels. Even if your car needs painting, the method can still be use to prep the damaged panel, therefore reducing the need for body filler and also reducing your costs. Paintless dent repair is not only quicker, but also a more affordable way of repairing this type of damage. Only a true PDR artist like O. C. Ray can proceed with the true patience and precision needed to ensure your car receives a smooth, perfect dent repair.
