Paintless dent repair
PDR reshapes the panel from behind or uses controlled pulling from the face. It is usually best for small or medium dents where the factory paint is intact, the metal is not sharply stretched, and a technician can reach the repair area. It avoids filler and repainting, so it can preserve the original finish and reduce workshop time.
Door dings, shallow parking dents, and some soft creases often suit this method. A dent close to a reinforced edge, folded seam, or inaccessible brace may need another approach.
