Paintless Dent Repair for beginners by a first time a DIY guy. It looks so easy when all the PDR pros do it on youtube, so I wanted to try it out on my car. What did I have to lose? Paintless dent repair is where you adjust the sheet metal on your car to be flat again. If there is a low spot pull it out. If there is a high spot, tap it down. When it’s smooth again, you are done! You don’t have to be an auto body pro to pop out a door ding. Don’t be afraid to try this on your car, unless it’s precious. For me, it’s all about learning a new skill and having a little better car in the end. I’m stoked that I did this pops a dent kit. I got a couple door dings and dents out since filming this. Take your time, you can get great results if you pay attention to what you are doing. This is a great way to repair hail damage too. The kit I got has glue tabs, a hot glue gun, glue sticks, a slide hammer, a rubber hammer, a t-handle puller, a bridge puller, and a dent lifter. I also suggest a heat gun to reuse the glue on the tabs since it just needs to get hot to melt again and is faster than the glue gun.

Just needed more pulling. Gotta pull the lows up and blend them down. Having some push rods would help
I think it was a problem with quality of glue and that you should have used a lot more pull all at once then blend.
I got that kit. I found an 8mm steel rod which I bent and tapped a thread to take the tip for the knock down tool to give me a push rod with changeable ends.
Still there!
Excellent grade 👍
I'm not even a novice, but I'll like opinions on my comment. It seems the dent stopped improving after the size of the dent was smaller than the dent pulling tap? I just had deja vu. I swear I've commented like this before. I'd still like comments about it though.
Not bad for the first time! Another 8 minutes and you're done 90%, 100% 👌
Always heat the area before tapping on it like that to prevent the paint from cracking as well as making the metal a tad bit more workable.
im the 1,000th like 🙂
