im thinking of learning paintless dent removal,,,has anyone here taken the classes, and which company would you recommend? there are quite a few places to learn, and i am not really sure how to go about picking one. i realize this is a little off topic, but i thought there might be a pretty good chance some of you guys would know something about this.
Jim, i dont know much about the classes but there is a place i use in Fort lee the guy is AWESOME ...I have had him do some small dings for me and you can never tell they were there...I will be visiting him soo because i have a small ding in my hood on my brand new car....which sucks but on the good side as long as its a dent and the paint is intact you will never know its was there...Good luck with it ,I heard it takes ome practice and skill to master it but im sure you will pick it up....You might want to call that place im talking about maybe they can guide you into the right direction......
Jim, I have a couple of friends that have been doing PDR for over 10 years. I will p, you one of thems phone number. he will help you out. he makes 100 large a year. The other makes more but he chases hail storms. TP
I was gonna do the paintbull course. I know two guys that teach there and have seen them work. They are both exceptional paint techs. The one guy used to do business at the auction I worked at and taught me alot about painting. HE even mixed me paint for free. www.paintbull.com
I had a buddy who paid big $ for a course and said he wishes he had just gone to work for someone as an aprentice instead.
I dunno about the classes, but last summer I paid $150 to a guy to remove two door dings. Took him about an hour and the results were amazing! Can't even see where they were.
I rented a 5 DVD set of PDR videos from http://smartflix.com/ (used to be called Technical Video Rentals) and learned pretty much everything I needed to know about the process. Of course watching the videos won't impart the skills but it sure did help me understand what was involved with the how-to's and the tools needed.
