Aluminium Panel Dent Repair in Lahore

Aluminium panels can be repaired with paintless dent repair, but they behave differently from steel: aluminium is stiffer, work-hardens and does not "remember" its shape, so the dent must be pushed exactly to the finished position with no over-correction. Aluminium PDR takes longer and needs specialised tips, gentle heat and more knock-down work, and not every aluminium dent is a candidate.

What is aluminium panel dent repair?

Many newer models use aluminium for the bonnet, boot lid and some doors to save weight. Steel springs back and forgives a slightly heavy push; aluminium does not. It also cracks more easily at the paint if pushed sharply. The technician works with lighter, more frequent passes, uses controlled heat to reduce the metal's resistance and relies heavily on glue pulling for larger areas.
