PDR is ideal for door dings, minor dents and hail damage where the paint is intact, it keeps the original factory paint and is far cheaper and faster than conventional repair. It cannot fix cracked paint or very sharp dents.
💰 Ways to save
- PDR is far cheaper than panel beating and respray when the paint is undamaged, always ask if it is suitable first.
- Multiple small dents on one panel are often cheaper per dent than separate jobs.
- For hail damage, insurers often prefer PDR, check whether your claim covers it.
