Paintless Dent Repair is a collection of techniques for removing minor dents and dings from the body of a motor vehicle. This includes the repair of hail damage, door dings, minor body creases, and minor bumper indentations. PDR is most suitable for minor body damage where the paint is not affected. However, PDR techniques can also be applied to help prepare the damaged panel for paint. Limiting factors for a successful repair using PDR include the flexibility of the paint, and the amount the metal has been stretched by the damage incurred. Hence, often extremely sharp dents and creases may not be repairable- at least not without painting afterwards.
It's important to note, Paintless dent repair takes time to learn; it is more of an art than a specific set of skills. The ability to successfully remove dents and dings is learned through trial and error. An untrained individual can actually damage a dent if attempting a repair without the correct skills and knowledge.
