Paintless dent repair (PDR) is a technique that removes dents from a vehicle’s body panels by massaging the metal back to its original shape from behind the panel using specialized tools — without sanding, filling, priming, or repainting the surface. The paint remains completely undisturbed throughout the process.
PDR works because automotive sheet metal is flexible enough to be reshaped when pressure is applied gradually and precisely from the reverse side of the panel. The technique preserves the vehicle’s original factory paint finish, which is both the strongest and most color-accurate paint the vehicle will ever have.
