Why is Paintless Dent Repair so hard to learn?
I recently read an article on here that PDR Paintless dent removal is a good summer job. I can’t completely agree with that. PDR is the art of removing dent, dings, creases and hail damage from vehicles without the use of bondo and paint. As you can imagine learning this takes time. There are many schools out there suggesting that they can teach you PDR in a week or two. This just is not the case.

This is generally quite a difficult accomplishment for many students using standard training methods, and can take anywhere from a couple days to several weeks to master. The reason it takes so long to learn this first skill is that the problem isn’t with your eyes or hand-eye coordination as most people would assume. It is because your left and right brain hemispheres don’t want to communicate with each other because this task is so foreign to everything the brain has learned up to now. In o
