How to Remove Dent with Paintless Dent Repair (PDR)
Got Dents? SAI Paintless Dent Repair Training teaches you how to remove them. But many ask-“Is PDR easy to learn?”
For those that want to learn dent repair but didn’t know how? The Superior Institute at nodents.com has just opened up more dates for their PDR Training course in Southern California, Orlando and Dallas.
People who choose to learn PDR will often try PDR Training videos, PDR Training DVD’s or attempt to learn on their own, but ultimately PDR is best learned in person with over the shoulder hands on training by a professional.
Think about it- Paintless dent removal is the process of reshaping sheet metal into its original form, which is essentially sculpting metal without seeing where your tool is exactly! Easy? Not hardly. But possible and many people now do it around the world and do quite well with it.
The first step to proper PDR Training is the determine the length of training you will need. Some people take a one week course while others take a two or 3 week course. Those who have related experience (body repair tech or auto detailer) usually are fine with a 1-2 week course.
People without related experience usually will want to take at least a 2 week course but a 3 week course is even better since they will have more of a need to get further reps learning this fine artistic process.
Dent repair can be applied to vehicles, motorcycles and some will even take on aircraft, appliances and more, but Paintless Dent Removal is designed originally for cars. To properly take out door dings and dents you will need custom tools which are designed for proper access and tips to take out specific types of dents.
Quality tools will either aide in proper removals and others can inhibit the process and reduce craftsmanship down to something less to be desired. So what does it take to become a solid Paintless
Dent Removal tech?
- Proper training regimen with the right school and course length.
- Proper equipment that will access and remove dents of all types.
When you combine all these things together you get a PDR Tech who can take on hail damage, door dings, minor dents, creases, bodylines and more. Braced dents and oversized damage are a thing of the past for a great tech!
