PDR Simulator: Paintless Dent Repair

Paintless dent repair

PDR Simulator: Paintless Dent Repair is a PC repair simulator about removing dents without damaging a car’s factory paint. You read a line board reflected in the panel, choose a tool and work the metal until the lines run straight. Lows pull the stripes inward, highs push them outward, and deep dents make rings in the reflection. The work calls for controlled pressure: push too far and you can leave a high, stretch the metal or crack the paint.

Tools and technique

Rods push the panel from behind, while a knockdown tool taps down highs created during the repair. Glue pulling has its own sequence: clean the panel, glue on a tab, wait for it to cure, pull with a mini lifter or slide hammer, then release it with isopropyl. Heat guns help with cold paint and plastic bumpers, and trim tools provide access to the panel.
