yay 225$ later and 5 hrs my car is now almost dentless.

Paintless dent removal issues:
1. its never 100% perfect unless u get a new panel.
2. double layered areas like parts of the hood, and fender well and roof are impossible to get dents pushed out.
3. pretty all they do is push the dent out slowly w/ prongs and rods.
4. much cheaper the welding and pulling then repainting (traditional dent removal)

$225 is still kinda pricey though. i usually just wait until someone rear ends me. then i claim a hit-and-run, pay no deductible b/c asian places will just charge the insurance company more, and get all my dents removed for free :)

i mean, uh, that is what my friend does. not me.

225 is a good deal because for the most part, body shops recreate your body work out of bondo after an accident. they just hammer the sheetmetal out a bit, drill holes in and pull out larger dents. the bondo shit that they cake on is usually way too much and is prone to cracking and later on, falling apart. we won't even go into cheapo body shop paint, that's a whole huge can of worms.

paintless dent removal preserves factory sheet metal and factory paint. plus you don't get shitty overspray also.

also dent masters charges 100$ a panel and 65 cost to body shops panel = R/L fenders, hood, roof, r/l doors, r/l rear quarter panels etc.
