Default Painless Dent Removal DIY

Has anyone got any experience with paintless dent removal? My car has numerous car park dings along the doors and have been quoted roughly £400-600 just for one side!!

Ive been looking online and found different kits from suckers/plunger type tools to kits where you glue a tab onto the car and then use the tool to prize the dent out.

Does anyone have experience with these types of kits as id rather try it myself.

cheers

400-600 for one side? is that panel repair and paint from a bodyshop?

a paintless dent guy is usually £30-£50 per panel with £30 usually being a group buy price

its not an easy thing to DIY you may get it into a reasonable shape but will never be same level as those who do it for a living ive found

yes mate, i was expecting £50 - £60 per panel! it was a local PDR specialist sent him a few photos and that was his ball park figure which to me is way too expensive, unless i was dreaming at £50 - £60 a panel.

Ive watched a few videos online and it doesn't look overally complicated but can see it becoming fiddly to get the dings perfectly removed. Worth a try maybe?
