If you’ve got a classic car that you want to stand out, painting over your car’s dents and scratches does not get to the root of the problem. Paintless dent repair specialists can repair dents on any vehicle type regardless of age and condition. Here’s what you’ll need to know about getting dents repaired on even the most weathered of old cars.
The Disadvantages of Repainting
On classic cars, dents are common, and the deepest, longest dents are extra unsightly. Some dents have remained untouched for decades and require more attention than a paint job. When you restore a classic car, you usually clean the interior, fix windows and wax the exterior. After you make an old car look brand new, you cannot cover over a large dent on the hood or door panel by simply repainting.
How Paintless Dent Repair helps
Paintless dent repair requires using specialized metal tools to push the dent out from beneath the surface. The process is done meticulously to prevent further damage to the car. Experienced repair technicians use special tools, such as rods, lights and reading instruments, to remove the dent carefully. They analyze the problem from all angles as they work and avoid forcing out a dent that leaves unnecessary push marks.
The glue pulling technique is performed on small damages caused by hail or minor collisions. This process requires different tools, which include glue pulling tabs to place on the dent and guns to apply the glue. For large dents, a technician applies a slide hammer with enough grip to pop the dent out effectively.

Dent repair should be on the task list for any classic car restoration. It takes experienced professionals to fix the problem quickly without causing more damage.
