Paintless Dent Removal

Few people realize that it is possible to get rid of minor dents in a car without even touching the paint job

. Aaron Baird owns West Coast Recon, a mobile automotive reconditioning company based in southern California. Here, he talks about what he calls paintless dent removal, and why its the way to go.

Has your car been dented by hail, an accident or something else? Our dent removal professionals have the knowledge and training to smooth out any dent or scratch on your vehicle. If your damage consists of smooth, shallow dings, dents, and creases ranging in diameter from dime-sized to basketball-sized; or dents in plastic bumpers that have no holes, tears or paint damage and are still fully affixed to the vehicle, we can use the paintless dent removal process.

Paintless dent removal is an amazing way to get rid of minor dents and dings in your car without having to touch the paint job. It preserves the integrity of the original paint by doing the job from the inside out. This is one of the most complicated things we do, and you will be surprised by our ingenious service.

Everything is done with a set of tools that have different angles and points on the end. The goal is to get behind where the little dent is. If its on a door, we roll the window down, put a protective shield over the window, put a little ledge between the window and the opening, and get our tool down there and massage the dent out from the inside.

It involves no paintwork and no body filler. However, a body shop always fixes the dent by putting Bondo on it, which is a body filler, and then repainting. When you have paintwork done to the car, it will always look different from the original factory paint job. It devalues the car and there is often a chance of a mismatch. Thats why paintless dent removal can be so invaluable. It also takes a fraction of the time and costs about one-third of the cost of a traditional body shop job.

Keep in mind that if the damage on your car is too severe or paint damage is involved, paintless dent removal would not be an option. This could include sharp dings, dents, and creases that have been stretched too deep; areas reinforced with double metal, such as the edges of a cars doors, hood, and trunk; damage on the edge of a body panel; or dents with extensive paint damage, including cracked or broken paint.
