Types of Dent Repairs
Standard dent repair typically involves filling in the damaged area with filler material, sanding it down, and then repainting the affected area to match the rest of the car’s surface. This process can be time-consuming and may require blending the paint to ensure a seamless finish. In contrast, paintless dent repair (PDR) is a technique that involves massaging the dent out from the inside, preserving the original paintwork. PDR is often faster, more cost-effective, and retains the vehicle’s factory finish, making it a preferred option for minor dents where the paint is still intact.
