Why Preserving Factory Paint Matters
Factory paint systems are applied in controlled environments and tend to be more durable than aftermarket refinishing.
Keeping the original paint:
Helps maintain resale value
Avoids color matching concerns
Reduces the risk of future clear coat issues
Whenever possible, preserving the vehicle's original paint is the better long-term decision.

Top PDR Questions Answered
If you are still weighing whether PDR makes sense for you, these are some of the most common questions we hear.
In most cases, yes. Hail damage is usually cosmetic, but it can reduce resale value and affect future trade-in offers. Repairing the dents restores the vehicle’s appearance and helps maintain its value.
DIY dent removal tools and kits are widely available, but they rarely restore the panel correctly. Without proper tools and access behind the panel, it is easy to stretch the metal or damage the paint. Professional PDR relies on controlled pressure and specialized tools to reshape the panel accurately.
Hail damage is typically covered under comprehensive insurance rather than collision coverage. Whether a claim affects your premium depends on your insurance provider, your claim history, and your specific policy. It is best to confirm details directly with your insurer.
A hail claim may be denied if the policy does not include comprehensive coverage, if the damage occurred before the policy was active, or if the damage cannot be verified as storm-related. Policy details vary by provider. It is best to confirm details directly with your insurer.
Hail dents are not simply popped out. Proper repair involves carefully reshaping the metal back to its original contour using precise tools and controlled pressure. Quick popping methods can damage the metal or paint.
Paintless Dent Repair works best when the paint is intact, and the metal has not been severely stretched. Dents that cannot usually be fully repaired with PDR include sharp creases, dents with cracked or chipped paint, severe edge damage near panel seams, and areas that have been previously repaired with filler. In some cases, the dent can be improved, but not completely eliminated.
