What Is Paintless Dent Removal (PDR)?

Paintless Dent Removal —
Paint 100% Preserved.

Paintless dent removal — PDR — is the most advanced and least invasive method of restoring dented panels to their original shape. Using specialised precision tools, our technician carefully massages the metal back into position from behind the panel, without ever touching the paint surface.

No sanding. No body filler. No repainting. The result is a repair that is genuinely undetectable — because your original factory paint has never been disturbed.

PDR works on door dings, car park dents, hail damage, and most round or shallow dents where the paint remains intact. It is faster, less expensive, and produces a better result than traditional panel repair for eligible dents.

Fraction of the Cost
PDR costs significantly less than traditional panel repair or repainting — with a better result.

Your Questions
Answered.

Everything Melbourne car owners ask about paintless dent removal — answered honestly.

Call for a Free Quote
What is paintless dent removal and how does it work?
Paintless dent removal (PDR) uses specialised precision tools to carefully massage dented metal back to its original shape from behind the panel — without ever touching the paint surface. No sanding, no filler, no repainting. Your factory finish is completely preserved.
How much does paintless dent removal cost in Melbourne?
At Fine Shine, PDR starts from $150 for small dents, $250 for medium dents, and $400+ for large or complex repairs. Every dent is assessed before work begins so you get an accurate quote upfront. Call Jimmy on 0426 164 009 for a free assessment.
Will PDR damage my paint or clear coat?
No — that's exactly the point of PDR. The repair is carried out entirely from behind the panel. Your paint surface is never touched, never sanded, never repainted. The factory finish remains 100% original.
What dents can and can't be fixed with PDR?
PDR works best on round dents, door dings and hail damage where the paint remains intact and the metal hasn't been sharply creased. Dents with cracked or broken paint, or very sharp creases, may require traditional panel repair. Our specialist will assess your car honestly before quoting — we'll only recommend PDR when it's genuinely the right solution.
How long does paintless dent removal take?
Most single small-to-medium dents take 1–3 hours. Multiple dents or more complex repairs may take a full day. We'll give you an accurate timeframe after assessment. Most jobs are completed same day.
Can I combine dent removal with ceramic coating or PPF?
Absolutely — and it makes perfect sense. Fix the dents first, then protect the restored panels with ceramic coating or STEK PPF. Fine Shine can handle both in a single visit. Ask about combined packages when you book.
Do you repair hail damage with paintless dent removal?
Yes — hail damage is one of the most common PDR repairs we handle at Fine Shine's Port Melbourne studio. Multiple hail dents can be removed across an entire panel or vehicle without any repainting. Bring your vehicle in for a free assessment and we'll give you an upfront quote covering every affected panel.
Is there a PDR specialist near Melbourne CBD?
Yes — Fine Shine is located at 7 Woolboard Road, Port Melbourne, just 3km from Melbourne CBD. We are the only dedicated paintless dent removal studio in inner Melbourne. Most PDR operators in Melbourne are mobile — Fine Shine offers a professional fixed studio, making us the most convenient option for customers in Port Melbourne, South Melbourne, St Kilda, Toorak, Richmond, South Yarra and all surrounding inner suburbs.
How do I know if my dent can be fixed with PDR?
The best way is to bring your car in for a free assessment — it takes minutes and costs nothing. As a general guide, PDR works on dents where the paint is intact (not cracked or chipped), the metal hasn't been sharply creased, and the dent is accessible from behind the panel. Door dings, round car park dents and hail damage are almost always suitable. Very deep or sharp-edged impacts with paint damage may require traditional panel repair.
