Default Paintless dent repair (dent master etc)

My saph cossie has a few small parking dents and I would like to know if Paintless dent repair works well on these old cars. I know it works better on modern thicker panels so anyone got any experience of it on sierra panels? All of the dents are just small door dings.

Cheers

Auto healer, Precision dent removal paint less dent removal, if your dents have no filler behind them they are absolutely brilliant, did my 3 door couldn't even tell.

They're a little too far for me as I'm down in Kent. Good to know that the dents do come out of these doors though.

It will work fine mate dosent make a difference to doing the job the age of the car. Its easier on older cars as there is virtually no crash protection stuff in the way of getting the rods in also.

That's good to know then. Any ideas on rough cost for say 4 parking dents over two panels?

yes paintless dent removal works on any car providing there is access to the rear of the dent with no crash protection in the way allthough that doesnt always stop the guy i use he has some fancy glue to bond these things onto the car which he then attaches a slide hammer to, then gives them a spray with some secret (lol) liquid and they just drop off!! and i tend to find newer cars have thinner metalwork than old cars

Cost will vary lots depending where you live and who you use, ive heard it range from Ł25-Ł90 per panel but if youve got quite a few they will do you a better price for the whole car

Hi, got a chap I use in Tunbridge Wells who is the nuts, had him do some on my cossie, you cant see a ripple where he has been. I have been a panel beater for the last 16 years so have got a good eye for detail!. Can pass on his number if you want? he is very reasonable too .
