Conventional repair is when the automobile's outer damaged panel is sanded down to bare metal and different body techniques are used like welding a stud to the panel and pulling out the dent with a slide hammer. After the damage panel is roughed out smooth. There will be a skim coat of plastic filler or bondo put onto the prepped panel and sanded smooth. After that the panel has primer sprayed onto it, then the base coat and then the clear coat applied in a paint booth. Finally the freshly painted panel is lightly buffed to remove any bubbles in the clear from painting. Paintless dent repair uses specially made rods, glue tabs, hammers and knock downs to slowly vibrate the metal either from the back side of the panel or the outer side depending on the location while using a PDR light to look at the reflection of the dent.

When a PDR professional uses the PDR process correctly and uses rust protection if metal on metal action is needed then PDR does not cause rust.

Traditional Dent Repair vs. PDR

lordofthedings

March 15, 2025

Dents and dings are an inevitable part of vehicle ownership, but you don’t have to live with them diminishing your car’s appearance. These unwanted souvenirs can be effectively eliminated, whether from an unexpected hailstorm or a careless shopper’s cart.

Understanding Your Repair Options

At Lord of the Dings, we understand you want the most effective, convenient, and affordable solution for your vehicle’s restoration. Let’s discuss both repair methods so you can make an informed decision.

The Traditional Repair Process

Fixing a dent in a car using conventional methods involves multiple steps. First, technicians thoroughly clean the damaged area to remove debris or contaminants. Then, they sand down the paint and surrounding area to create a smooth surface for repair.

Next, body filler is carefully layered to reshape the damaged section. Once the filler cures, multiple rounds of sanding ensure a perfectly smooth transition between the repaired area and the surrounding panel.

The painting process is equally detailed. Technicians must prime the area and carefully mix paint to match your vehicle’s color, accounting for the age and weathering of the original paint.

They often need to blend the new paint into surrounding panels to ensure a seamless match. Finally, they apply a clear coat for protection and shine. While this comprehensive approach effectively repairs severe damage, it typically requires several days, specialized equipment, and significant resources. The result? Higher costs and longer time without your vehicle.

The PDR Advantage

Fixing car dings and dents with paintless dent repair preserves your vehicle’s original finish. This innovative technique works with your car’s metal rather than against it. PDR technicians use specialized LED lighting to map out your dent’s exact dimensions and depth, creating a precise repair strategy.

Technicians access the dent from behind your car’s panel using various custom-designed tools. These tools range from gentle persuaders to more precise instruments, each chosen specifically for the dent’s location and severity.

Using a combination of expert manipulation and steady pressure, they carefully massage the metal back to its factory specification. It’s like smoothing out a wrinkle in fabric but with the precision of a surgeon.

What makes PDR remarkable is its preservation of your car’s original paint. Unlike traditional repairs that strip away your factory finish, PDR maintains the paint that automotive manufacturers specifically engineered for your vehicle. This preservation helps maintain your car’s value and structural integrity. Plus, since there’s no need for body filler or new paint, you won’t have to worry about color matching or paint overspray.

At Lord of the Dings, our certified technicians complete most PDR repairs in hours, not days. They utilize specially designed lighting systems and years of experience to ensure every curve and body line returns to its original state. This attention to detail means your car is restored to its pre-damage condition without compromising its original engineering.

Choosing the Right Repair Method

Some situations call for traditional repair methods, like when metal is severely creased or paint is already damaged. However, PDR is ideal for:

Door dings from parking lots
Hail damage
Minor dents from low-speed impacts
Shopping cart encounters
Small body line dents
