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.

I got one like this from the seat belt buckle on my golf mk7,I shut the door on the seat belt as the baby seat didn’t let the belt roll back in,I see it every time I open the door,hopefully I can get it 90 percent out
After you pull your tab off then spray the glue with your spray bottle, then use scraper to pop glue off. After you use a big tab to do your first pull and the dent gets smaller, go to a smaller tab to match the dent left. I ordered just a set of misc tabs of all sizes and shapes. You can then spot your dents, go around and glue your tabs on a handful and get to work. Your goal is to pull the dent until it has a slight crown and then use your tapper to flatten it back down.
I training with cars My boss hahaha xd for My firsh time not bad.
Always start with the least agressive approach. Good job.
I got to handed to you. My little boy slam my wife car door on my brand new 2020 Tahoe. It was a accident. But I can’t do this myself I’ll be afraid to make it worst.
I just finished this DIY project on my lexus nx200t myself. Not sure if it worth the time and effort. I will continue on it tomorrow 😆
Nice to see that anyone can pull this off
I think you were hitting the tap down tool a little too hard. There's a reason they are called TAP downs.
You can make so much money doing this, I’m a panel beater and I watched a guy doing it, it took him seconds to get it out his really good at it but his been doing it years. I bought the tools just practicing now then I go on the course but honestly you can make stupid amounts of money doing it anyone that’s in the motor trade I suggest you give it ago or anyone that’s interested in doing it.
Everything about this was painful
