Being able to keep the factory paint is every car owner’s biggest concern. Original paint applied to the vehicle by the manufacturer carries certain characteristics that are impossible to replicate. Baked at a certain temperature, and applied by machines to ensure a perfect coat of paint – there is nothing like the perfect seal of high standard paint that comes with a car.Want to know what’s better than driving your family-owned 2012 Mercedes Cabriolet down the streets? Being able to tell your friends how your car still has the original paint.
While a bonded panel can make it impossible for the technician to repair without cracking the paint, a car that has undergone PDR can be repaired through the same technique again and again.
A dent that has been restored through PDR will never return. Bondo, on the other hand, can shrink over time, leaving you with signs of repairs. The only cases where a dent might return with PDR is when you hire an unprofessional technician that didn’t do the job right, or when a dent that has been stretched too far (and deep) was repaired, and later oil-canned when washing the car.
