Paintless Dent Repair

Well, Kermit (Mudbone Jr's car) got a spa treatment this week. When we bought the car it had typical F-body dents in the rear quarter panels on both side. Sorry I don't have any before pictures, but they were the usual dollar-coin-sized dents (at least three on each side). Here are some after photos and believe me, you can't see where the dents were.


There were two right where the reflection of the Krud Kutter bottle is



Two more, were located just between the door jamb and wheel well.



This one shows the plug he put in after gaining access for the two above. It's the size of a nickel, and looks like it belongs there.


Total repair cost $200. It was well worth it.

I've had some PDR work done on my Nissan truck. It's amazing what they can do.

Sorry I didn't have some "before" shots. I say go for it. These guys are all over the place and the cost seems reasonable. Besides, I'm sure they'd be happy to get the work!

I had some PDR done on my old '97 Z28. Really cleaned the car's appearance up.

Yes he did, but I didn't get to watch Kermit. He was working on a tailgate of a Dodge Ram when I came back and I got to watch that. It was pretty amazing. The dent was awful, but he had it almost gone while I watched. I had to leave, but I'm sure he fully removed it.
