Push/Pull to Paint & Push/Pull to Filler

We understand some customers are only in the market to just take the curse off the damage due to budgetary concerns, the vehicle’s value versus cost of complete repairs or the damage may be too severe to achieve a “never been damaged” condition using only Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) methods.

What is Push/Pull to Paint & Push/Pull to Filler?

It’s using the Paintless Dent Repair methodology to reshape the damaged area by pushing or glue pulling, instead of using the conventional body repair methods of just beating it out with unpolished hammers and dollies, welding pull pins or metal plates to pull out some of the damage, applying a thick coat of body filler (also known as bondo) to hide the damage which takes far less skill.

It’s noteworthy to mention welding on metals on most modern vehicle are made of can potentially weaken them by changing their molecular structure and compromise the corrosion protection on the repaired panel.

Push for paint consists of getting the damage very close using our advanced PDR methods to iron out the damage minimizing the need for repainting and fillers. “Hybrid Repair Methodologyâ€

If it’s later decided to finish the repairs to perfection, all we would have to do is feather edge, prime and block and repaint at an additional cost.

As mentioned before Push For Filler is roughing out the damage back to shape using PDR methods with minimal adverse effect on the panel if any at all.

In some extreme cases a thin coat of glazing putty is used to finish leveling the reshaped area prior to feather edge, prime and blocking the repair area before the application of primer and paint (at an additional cost).
