A Look into the World of Motorcycle Paintless Dent Repair (MPDR)

Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) is a technique to remove minor dings and dents present on a motorcycle without ruining the bike’s original factory paint. The dent fixing process through PDR requires a lot of patience, while our expert technician massages all dings and dents out from the inside of the tank, or from the underside of the fender. Highly specialized tools that are particularly made for this task are used during the dent removal process.

 

Dent Removal Process Through Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) 

An expert PDR technician will use specialized tools to vigilantly press the dent back into its original position without the need to use any kind fillers or paint. This allows your motorcycle to remain in its original factory condition, and it will look as if the ding never even happened. 

PDR is not only a quick process but also lasts longer and is more durable than other traditional motorcycle ding repair methods.

 

Benefits of Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) 

 

Quality:

The PDR method does not use any fillers, primers, grinding, or Bondo as the original paint of the motorcycle is not disturbed. Thus, PDR is the best solution that offers optimal quality while removing dings and dents from your favourite motorcycle.

 

Cost-Effective:

Another significant advantage of PDR is its value. A typical paint repair of a minor motorcycle ding might cost $500-$1200 or even more if it has custom paint. The same dent can be fixed through the PDR method much faster and often times more cost effective.

Did you know that we also fix dents in motorcycle tanks?

Well we sure do, today we are working on a 2017 Harley Davidson Street Glide Screaming Eagle CVO. This customer purchased this motorcycle that was previously wrecked, he know choosing Paintless Dent Repair he would be able to save himself from purchasing a new gas tank.

We start out by mounting this motorcycle tank to our motorcycle tank vise. This is bolted into the ground and designed to mount this tank and fenders rock solid so there is no flex and movement when pushing damage out. We then use a leverage plate to have something to leverage off of in order to push these dents out. This leverage plate is mounting where the fuel injection assembly sits. We also have a specialty set of tools specifically for motorcycles to fix this damage.

When pushing damage out in motorcycles we have to heat the area we are working anywhere from 160 to 190 degrees at all time while pushing this damage out. This allows the paint to be more flexible and allows us to push this damage out without cracking or breaking the paint. Motorcycle tanks, especially Harley Davidson’s are much harder to repair than any other motorcycles and vehicles because they are much thicker and stronger.
