Generally, dents
that have this gentile
an indentation can be
removed without
paint and bodywork

They're everywhere,
those
objects and careless people
just
waiting for an opportunity
to put a
ding in your flawless paint
and
bodywork. No matter how
hard you
try to protect your ride,
it can still
happen. The cure is often
a trip to
paint jail, where the guards
add a
little body filler and attempt
to
match your car's pristine
finish to
rehabilitate the metal.
But there's
a etter way to cure
this sheetmetal assault,
and it's
accomplished without paint
and
bodywork. It's called paintless
dent
repair, and it's available
through a
variety of vendors nationwide.

many minor dings
can be removed
to leave the area as mirror-straight
as before. Best of all,
there's not
worry of any finish not
matching,
because the existing paint
will
usually stay intact. The
whole
process is typically accomplished
in a few hours for far less
money |
than traditional
bodywork.
But beforee
we go further, it's
best to piint out that certain
dam-
age is too severe or located
in
ares that cannot be repaired.
For
many small dents and dings,
how-
ever, the process works
very well.
