One common method of paintless dent repair involves using metal rods, body picks, and special glue to push the dents back into their correct positions. Sometimes, the dents also require something called “tapping” to remove high spots in the repair and to restore it to a smooth appearance.
Although the concept is simple, the action of the repair is precise. Paintless dent repair involves several steps, including using a host of instruments to locate the exact position, size, and shape of the dent.
