Paintless dent repair is becoming a popular method for repairing minor dings and dents. There are many types of methods used for removing dents, depending on the make and model of the vehicle. The goal of these methods is to remove the dent without causing any scarring to the paint so there is no need for touch up. This type of dent repair can be used for:
* Hail damage
* Dings to the doors
* Larger dents
* Damage to the body line
* Minor creases
The success of this paintless dent repair will depend on the type of metal and how flexible the paint is. Most newer vehicles can be easily repaired with paintless dent repair because the type of paint they are coated in is very flexible and does not tend to crack or peel as much as older paint jobs.
The metal on newer vehicles is also thinner and more flexible so this type of repair is usually fairly easy to carry out.
Many dents can be pushed out from the other side using metal rods and picks. This is especially beneficial for smaller dents. Many auto body shops use this method if they are worried the paint job will not hold up under the pressure of repairing the dent. Glue and suction devices can prove useful on dents repaired through the outer layer of metal if the vehicle is a newer one.
