Not bad, considering she’s old enough to drink

After my PDR guy did his magic, I spent about 6 hours with clay bar, compound, polish and wax. She’s cleans up pretty good

Great job, looks really nice, especially for it's age

Is that "PDR" thing referring to blacking out all the chrome trim ?

Thanks for the response. Sorry - PDR is paintless dent repair. That takes out all the door dings and such. However, somehow when I got the truck last year, there were 2 “softball” size dents, one in each of the front fenders. No idea how something like that would happen, let alone to both sides. Replacing the fenders would be cost-prohibitive. But the paint wasn’t broken, so PDR saved the day, for a fraction of the cost.

When I replaced the headlights, the blacked out ones I think were for the FX model. The passenger side is the last OEM one on the planet (like a lot of parts I’ve sourced for this truck!). I had to go aftermarket to get a matching one for the drivers side.

It does look nice. Cleaned up paint and new lights really make a huge difference.

Some of the PDR guys are damn near magicians it seems. My wifes car had a several dents when we bought it that were all entirely removed, including a serious crease. It looks great now.

I do wonder though if the typical PDR process will make rust more likely. It seems like the primer on the backside of the panels is likely scratched off.

How or where would you look for someone who does PDR?
