DIY - First Time Paintless Dent Repair for beginners - PDR door ding pull

how much did you pay for all those stuff?

Good work dude. Amazing that one guy at home with a kit and patience can get a good 90+% of the way to a seamless professional repair.

Never use your finger nail on the paint. Ok for very small dents or if the car isn't worth much

Ive been working on one dent for an hr a day for over 3 months. The trampoline flew into it leaving a 5cm crease in rear wheel arch and bodyline..the dent was minor compared to the battering my ego took trying to get it out. Ive lost my temper and smashed the panel with hammers, thrown tools at it, kicked it, punched it and swore so much my 5 year old asked me to Please stop saying the F word..lol..being completely committed to my fk up I have managed to resurrect it to almost perfect...but the metal as stretched. Final chaper for this psycho chick is Oil Can Repar..but its been fun..watched countless PDR video's since the panel has been every shape imaginable and resembled a teenagers facecwith acne at one stage when i started stabbing the damn thing with a screwdriver yelling I FKN HATE YOU... I have also learned patience along the way..and now own a heap of PDR tools lol

Doesn't look any better to me. Very obviously still there.

IT might look easy at First but it is not if you hit it took

What about the Slide Hammer HOW to Use it???! Do a video on it!! ....💎💎💎💎

you need some 99% alcohol and you would have had a easier time

I have 2 coloured glue sticks, black and almost clear, what is the difference between them?

Dude, where's my car?

before and after literally look exactly the same. lmfao

Incredible boring video

After buying a top model PDR kit off Amazon. And practicing on my fridge and car. And a person who has worked with my hands my whole life. I can assure you, that this is actually VERY tricky to get perfect. My advice is if you have a new car and you want it sorted. Pay someone, most of mine are definitely still visible - as would this repair be. I actually regret DIY’ing my old car and I’ve determined I’m not even going to try on the new one... It’s better. But is it? If your aiming to make a dent invisible again, Goodluck! I (now) have respect for paint-less panel beaters - or perhaps they never get it perfect either? 🤷🏼‍♂️

Instead of spending $200 on a kit, I should have got one of the guys that come around in a van to your house.

Adhesive its so bad

thin ass metal

Are you using a silicon glue to stick on it

Have used a stud welder and slide hammer let's just say alot ...worked in body shop for several years many moons ago ...so I bought one these pdr kits last year was going try and use it pull a few small dents and and dings outta my 1998 s10 project truck ...but I could never get the glue to adhere enough to not just pop rite off when I tried to use the slide hammer in the kit ....even just trying to put pressure it would just pop rite off ...not to mention if I tried to use the slide hammer ...I just wanted get them out close enough to sand a use filler but no luck ....so I ordered a stud gun ...

Muy mal amigo

Can I use the regular heat glue or should be the one that it comes with the kit? thanks

What glue did you use ?

Dumb question. Is there a specific hot glue you use??

That's a pretty impressive result seeing as you missed the dent every time 😆

Great job. I tried this the first time yesterday, no videos, just my mate, a track car and cheap Chinese kit. Had no idea about tapping down the edges. Its fun. Thanks for the video, helps loads. We are not looking for perfection but perfection is always good. Practice makes perfect.

Why didn’t you use the striped card, then you could see the high and low spots, and crowns you got to tap down. You still did a good job!

Fair play for giving it a go, it looks a lot better than it did for sure and ignore the criticism …. Where are their videos 🤷🏻

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

So the glue doesn’t suppose to stay on while you pull?

what did you use to remove the glue on the panel?

It is really far from a good result

Thanks for the close-up shot, it gives me idea of how those high point hammering works. I have been always curious on whether if the tabbing will leave some marks. Also it'd be even better if you had a before and after show from a distance, for comparison of the results. And thanks again, I am definitely trying it on my son's car now.

If he had heat up the working zone he wouldnt had the paint dmg with the glue

Great video, thanks, would you have the nale of your PDR kit ?

Bro why aren't you using the pdr light .. could have made it a lot easier .. but good job anyway .. glad you could make it work :)

Looked like shit. lol

Is that an specific type of glue, or any hot glue sticks will do the job?

Dents this small will not come out from outside only, at this point, you have to work it from behind

You need the tools that you can take behind the door and push it from the other side too

Get 90% alcohol and clean off the panel before you tap it or pull it heat it with the heat gun

Let the glue tab set a little longer

Alcohol takes the glue off

Obrigado pelo video bem detalhado. Thanks for the detalis in your video. I live in Brasil i will try to buy it in E-bay, how you call these equipment in English please?

Thanks for the confidence building video! I am going to try it! Will post if I was as successful as you!

Should have finished it. Glad he figured out the release.

Does it work?

Thanks for the helpful video! Really great to see a nice closeup view of how to do it.

Is the push rods designed to do the same thing as this technique ? I'm assuming it does so you don't have to worry about the glue aspect of it.

You tapping to heavy and tapping all over the fucken joint

Like it never existed. I seen those online kinda cheap but I didnt believe they will work. After seen the results, am going to give them a try, because it looks easier than masking, sanding, preparing, buying, and painting.

Lol
