how does paintless dent repair work?

[RafRaf]

ano ginagawa nila or ano ang ginagamit nila sa paintless dent repair? hindi ba talaga ba sisira ang pintura?

[Ungas]

It depends on what kind of PDR system is used, meron yung bakal na tinutukuran from inner side ng panels at meron din yung dinidikit na parang suction cup.

Yung common na PDR ay yung gumagamit ng mga bakal na mahaba at tutukuran ng dent part from inner panels. Minsan ginagamitan din ng pinong martilyo sa matitigas na kanto. Light tap lang ginagawa nila so your paint will have no to minimal paint damage which can be easily dealt with detailing.

Yung suction type PDR naman, nilalagyan ng pandikit na parang glue stick which will adhere to your damaged body then uses a puller to extract the dent part. Ingat lang pag repainted body na, minsan sumasama yung paint pagkahila ng damaged part. Mas maganda ito kung original paint pa rin ang sasakyan.

Ilang beses na ako nakapag PDR using both systems, I'd prefer the common methid which really takes up ones patience para pumino at pumantay ang contour.

I was able to have the "pukpok" type done once. Gusto ko makakita ng suction type. Ang masasabi ko lang after ng pukpok, if you look really closely, merong small bumps galing sa tukod, pero upon closer inspection lang naman at dapat maliwanag.

how much would you spend for something like this?

[theveed]

technically, PDR can only be done sa OEM finishes, repainted sasama talaga (diba Ungas hehe)...

Common charges range from 300-450 for a simple dent, price differ from different areas. Usually, pinapackage deal nila ang PDR for one whole panel kung maraming dings.

O nga theveed, hahaha! Pero nagawan ko ng paraan yung part para di gaano halata.

I don't think PDR works on hard plastic pwera lang pag steel bumpers. Check out theveeds link, dun din ako nag pa PDR oks naman.

Hi All,

Just wanted to ask if there's a reputable paintless dent repair shop within Makati area? I am really upset today because my new Vios (just got it last month) got a dent this afternoon (i.e. right fender just above the right wheel). Nag-park lang ako to get a haircut and this Tamarraw Revo (with diplomatic plates and still to be registered) parked beside my car. There were three passengers. The passenger (i.e. a little girl) at the back was the one who hit my car. I saw it happen so I went out of the salon and confronted the driver and his lady companion. What makes me upset is the non-chalant way they shrugged off my complaint as if nothing happened. In fact, they simply turned their back and walked off without any apologies (grrr....). I realize that accidents can and will happen. Pero mahirap bang apologize sa kapwa? Bastos talaga!!! Bahala na si Lord sa kanila, wala rin naman akong magagawa kasi ganun siguro talaga ag upbringing nila...walang modo......bastos talaga, walang respeto sa property ng kapwa nila...I'll bet na kapag sila naman ang agrabyado, they'll do everything just to get their property fixed.......anyway, sorry talaga but this is my impression kanina....bastos talaga sila....i hope merong shop that can do this paintless dent repair within makati para maayos na yung dent at magkano. btw, yung dent nga pala looks like a straight line, vertical and approximately about an inch long --- the paint is still intact walang galos or anything. kaya ba itong ma-repair using the paintless dent removal technique?

Thanks!

sorry dude the lord won't do anything about it...

[jkb2002]

was browsing some other forum threads and found the data i need. i'll probably drop by sa buendia auto centre and have a look if kaya nila yung dent ng sasakyan....thanks anyway......oh and by the way, kung hindi si Lord yung bahala dun sa mga walang hiyang yun, perhaps karma will get them....

[badbadtz.carlo]

it usually costs 1500 per panel. hope you can have your new car fixed again.
yaan mo na sila, 1500 later, back to normal tsikot mo. eh sila, karma will get them.

cheers!
