Paintless Dent Removal Paintless dent removal is a method by which a dent is repaired without sanding, bonding, and painting. First, the dent cannot be too deep and must be accessible by the technician to perform the work. There might be braces or joints that obstruct access. Secondly, the paint must be intact before and after the repair, which means the paint cannot be disrupted as a result of performing the repair. This makes paintless dent removal a limited option in some cases. Now, this is how paintless dent removal it is performed. First, the technician will need to maneuver behind the dent and use special tools to work out the dent slowly and carefully. Using this process, the dent should go back to its original form, paint intact. Lastly, the technician uses a straight-light to true the form of the panel. Traditional or Conventional Dent Removal If paintless dent removal is not an option, then traditional repair is next way to go. With traditional dent repair, the technician pulls the dent to a certain degree, making the damaged area workable. Next, the technician prepares the area to accept the bonding material. With skill and artistry, the technician fills the dent with material to match the panel's original form. Lastly, the area is sanded and professionally painted back to its former glory. This type of repair is used when it is more cost effective to perform a repair versus completely replacing the damaged panel.
