Australia has seen a rise in interest in classic custom cars. Car enthusiasts gather weekly to display the classic cars they have restored and maintained, as more and more people become fascinated with these cars. However, what do you do when your car gets dented? Here, we will talk about a technique to remove your car’s dents, without the inconvenience of the conventional panel shop repair.
Many people will admit it: it can be tempting to do your own car repairs. If you have the right knowledge and skills, you could find this route presents an ideal opportunity to save some money. Things like changing your own oil and topping up your fluids come to mind.
Some things, however, are best left to the professionals. This is because specific tools may be required to get the job done and these could be expensive for you to acquire. In addition, it often takes time and training to learn how to get the job done well. There’s a reason people like plumbers go to school for years before practising their trade!
Mobile paintless dent repairs take time to learn. It’s not something you master overnight. Some people do try it, however, so we’re here to warn you about techniques that are best avoided.
Here are three of the strangest ways people try DIY dent repairs that we think are best avoided!
Training to become a Paintless Dent Removal technician is highly specialized and those most likely to succeed are self-motivated, patient and committed. Acquiring the necessary skills to earn an income in Paintless Dent Removal takes time, patience and loads and loads of practice, and most of this practice is done in the trainee’s own time! The fact that there is no formal apprenticeship to become a paintless dent removal technician may lead people to believe that this profession is easy when in reality, paintless dent removal is a fine art that requires countless hours, days, weeks and years of practice. Our technicians at PDR 2U have spent many years training and working with industry professionals to ensure their skills are second to none.
Training involves learning how to use highly specialized tools and lighting to remove different types of dents from a wide variety of vehicles. Trainees also need to learn how to navigate their way around panels and bracing to gain access to all areas of each panel. Furthermore, they need to learn which tools to use to achieve the best outcomes. What may work really well on one type of vehicle may not be the best approach on a different type of vehicle. Learning how to remove dents from different types of metals is also a difficult skill to master. In addition to learning how to remove dents, PDR trainees also need to learn how to remove and reinstall interior and exterior trimmings without damaging the customer’s car. This is often necessary to gain entry to areas of panels that would otherwise be unrepairable.
