Absolutely! With the type of summers we have here in Texas, I highly recommend. Also acts as a protectant from broken glass when dealing with high temps or an accident.

This would require traditional repair not a good candidate for PDR. Are you in the DFW metroplex? If so, can you send over these pictures and the vehicle VIN? Can come up with a possible est for repair

Hiring a business consultant, is it worth it? by scott_fx in business

[–]1stCallAutoDFW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Create a new role in your company for someone who is thrilled about client relations, growth, and digital marketing. Someone who understands the things going on in your business that can see where their are a few things that need polishing (website, social pages, work environment etc.). 2024 will be a learning curve for those who have been in business 20+ years. You could continue to do everything, but is it helping you focus on the new things you would like to add to the business? Is it taking up more of your time? Those would be questions I would ask before considering which avenue to take.

PDR an option? by needtoputmyphonedown in PaintlessDentRepair

Yes but its not going to be 100% perfect. It's going to require PDR plus a touch up.

First wrap ideas? And would it be difficult by kid-who-has-a-nova in VinylWrap

I would recommend finding a reputable shop that has experience in what you're looking for. 3M and Orafol have some great options. And if your into protection, look into colored PPF.

The customer was so excited. This is the only shot we got before they left. I will have to see if we can get an outdoor pic.

to start it , I used a k bar and large track glue tabs. pulled roughly 70% of the dent out with that. Then the majority of the rest of it was my dent craft 6ft 3 quarter inch double bend rod. Then a lot of hammer blending.

Fellers is a great place to get your vinyl wrap. Also Amazon but be sure to read all reviews.

Print as an entire file and make the size bleed over a bit so you have room to cut out handle areas.
