THE GEAR THAT WILL KEEP YOUR CUSTOMERS COMING BACK
While painting vehicles may sound like a simple enough task for anyone who has never tried to paint a vehicle, those who have will know just how difficult it can be.
Paint is fickle. It dries differently depending on the temperature, the airflow and the amount of static in a room. If the environment in which it is applied is not ideal, the final results of even the most well-trained industry professional will be disappointing. And a bad finish is sure to leave a lasting bad taste in any client’s mind.
Fortunately, as more tools are being offered to ensure that auto painters in the collision repair profession can work in ideal conditions each and every time.
In fact, a swath of new technologies are arriving on the market to simplify, speed and sharpen the work being done by auto painters in repair facilities across the world.
From new colour-matching technologies promising results that rival even the sharpest-eyed colour matcher, to spray booths, spray guns and other accessories equipped with space-age features—some of which even seem to defy the laws of gravity.
These options can be overwhelming, but the thought of making the paint hardware purchasing decisions for your business doesn’t need to make you feel yellow—or a sickly shade of green.
If you are, the Collision Repair team has the cure. Over the next few pages, you will find profiles of from across the paint hardware spectrum.

TOO GOOD TO MISS
PDR TECHNIQUES GO MAINSTREAM
After decades of separation from the collision repair sector, paintless dent repair (PDR) technicians developed techniques unheard of in the mainstream repair community. And now, some collision facilities are bringing these techniques to support more traditional repair processes.
There is no question that, in some circumstances, PDR techniques can provide the swiftest, least expensive low-risk solutions to minor damages on vehicles. “When it comes to PDR it really is a new industry. I know it’s been 30 some years now but that’s relativity new in this industry. The way I think about it is PDR has always been a young stepbrother to the collision industry,” explained Bill Park, the co-chief executive of the Colorado-based PDR firm Axiom Accident and Hail Repair, in his 2018 Guild 21 webinar.
During the same webinar, Park and other guests highlighted the growing number of collision facilities that were bringing in PDR techniques in order repair parts that would otherwise be replaced.
This is leading to a so-called “partial push to repair” approach, where a technician uses PDR techniques to reduce the severity of a collision repair job, then finishes the job with standard paint-based collision repair techniques.
Using partial push to repair, a large dent can be pulled using PDR glue-pulling techniques into a much smaller one—or even completely removed. Of course, the more dramatic the repair, the less likely is it for paint to survive the undenting process, intact.
One of the reasons that PDR techniques work on dents, is the emergence of glue pulling techniques, which in the late 2010s, had surpassed the older suction and dent-rod techniques with effectiveness.
As Ryan Hampton, Axiom’s second chief executive stated: “Glue pulling has surpassed suction for external repair. It has grown by leaps and bounds. No one who we work with drills a panel anymore. Rather than removing a bumper cover, throw a glue tab on there and pull the dent out. Glue has moved up a lot. It can move a lot of metal as compared to a dent rod. So, there are a lot of advantages there. Guys are just getting better at it.”
Of course, it isn’t just the evolution of glue pulling methods that has allowed PDR techniques to become valuable in traditional repairing facilities.
Another advance is the use of a hot box, which uses an induction unit, like those found on high-end oven elements, to reform the metal. The technique allows technicians to pull on the dent from the top side of the panel and eliminate damage to the back side of the panel. In fact, with the introduction of BETAG Innovation’s own induction heating unit back in 2016, the brand began to seriously market its equipment to the mainstream.
At the time, BETAG COO, Dave Flockhart, explained that though the PDR technology might have been envisaged for PDR technicians, it now offers new opportunities to collision facilities.
“For us, it’s one of the fundamentals of metal repair. If you can get access to the backside of the metal and push it, you’ve expanded your options and you can make the quality of the repair much better,” explained Flockhart.
He also suggested that collision facilities that invest in using PDR tools proficiently, could see a significant benefit.
“I think there are opportunities for collision centres to develop their skill sets. The time to become a proficient PDR tech is significant, but the centres that encourage their technicians to embrace small damage repair have an opportunity to establish a significant competitive advantage.”
UNDENTED OPPORTUNITIES
WHY PDR PROVIDERS ARE THRIVING EVEN AS THEIR TECHNIQUES GO MAINSTREAM
The paintless dent repair sector’s transition from a specialized service into a mainstay service of progressive auto repairers everywhere has been rapid. For many facilities, however, the advantages offered by working with a PDR provider still outweigh bringing those services in-house.
Part of the reason these third-party services remain successful is that, while the basics of PDR are now being taught in mainstream collision repair training programs, a few providers have taken the technique far beyond the basics.
“PDR is a game real game-changer. Working with PDR firms can bring in business to collision facilities, improve cycle times, and improve a businesses relationship with customers and auto insurers,” says Domenic Serra of PDR Canada. “It is a win-win-win.”
When hail strikes, it can be difficult for these repair facilities to offer competitively priced hail repair solutions.
“Collision repair facilities can promote PDR on dents that are not related to collision repair to increase sales,” says Ricky Chin of Hail Specialists. “They can offer discounts on dent repair while having collision repair done. Most vehicles have door dents on them, it is more convenient for clients to have the dents fixed while their vehicles are in the bodyshop than to bring their vehicles in just to get some small dents fixed.”
Like Chin, Devon Fenton of DCC Hail believes that the business case for working with a subcontracted PDR firm is one that many firms would be wise to consider.
“I’d encourage collision industry representatives to view PDR companies as partners. Partnering with an established PDR company and potentially incorporating some of the collision repair PDR methods available can really help a shop increase its bottom line,” says Fenton.
Bing Wong of Canadian Hail Repair also makes the case for subcontracting PDR work, and says that subcontracted services have significant advantages over hiring in-house PDR technicians full-time.
“Your best option is to partner with a reputable PDR company who has a strong mix of work and a large team of technicians,” says Wong. “If you train your own staff they will leave as soon as your work dries up or as soon as there is a major hailstorm.”
Fenton also points out that this relationship between collision facility and PDR service provider can be a two-way street. Just like good bodyshops, established and reputable PDR vendors don’t massively discount their work, but will provide better repairs leading to repeat clients,” says Fenton.
“PDR companies with DRP relationships may also have the ability to drive work to bodyshop partners.” “In fact, I have started to see some of our collision partners advertising the fact that they offer PDR services for hail damage,” says Serra. “They know it is what drivers are looking for.”
