Have any of you guys played around with any of the DIY PDR tools? I was wondering if anybody had good results. The paint on my '84 is not great so I am not worried if I mess it up by attempting a DIY PDR, but was curious to try it out on my own.

 

Can I recommend that you salvage a door or fender from a boneyard to practice on? Reason: Each time I've played with DIY PDR, I ended up spending more to have it fixed by someone who really knows what they are doing. The experts make it look easy. It's not. PDR is very much a learned skill. Do your learning on something that doesn't care.

My too sense...

 

Good advice. I have got plenty of dents to practice on that aren't on the 928.

 

I've been a pdr tech since 1996. I spent 8 weeks 40 hours a week in training, and was several months at it full time before I started to feel comfortable with it. Save your money on the tools, it isn't something you"ll pick up casually and have positive results with.

 

I was also going to say the same thing ,
rebending metal is a skill that takes years to be proficient at,
as cool as it seems to straighten metal ,
this is one time when a pro is a better choice . Unless you have very good painter
