The different tools used in
paintless
dent repairs will fix minor dents on the body of the vehicle,
while retaining the factory finish on the car as closely as possible.
With a bit of care and skill, you can actually pull it off with no
glaring patched-up paint job.
Specially-shaped metal rods,
along with the usual home tools like hammers and files, are used to
slowly poke the dents and put them back in their original position.
The rods are generally long and slender, with bent tips that vary in
shape. Some are flat (like a flat screwdriver’s head), and others
are either pointed or rounded. Their opposite tips feature rubberized
handles for easier gripping.
The tools are used to poke
the dents from the inside, which is done by removing some parts or
panels of the vehicle. They may include windows, door panels, and
others. Once the dented metal panel is exposed, it is eased back out
gently. Most of the time, the tools’ tips are shaped for a specific
purpose – pointed tips can easily and safely repair smaller dents
than the flatter ones.
In a pro’s hands, the
repair can last only a few minutes; while inexperienced chaps may
take several hours. The process also depends on the damage; a much
larger dent would require a wider assortment of more-powerful tools
than simple metal rods and hooks.
