Anyone ever done PDR themselves? Any links to good how to guides or videos?
Last time I paid someone to do it they charged $50 per dent. Between our 3 cars that would add up to an absurd amount.
Looking at this kit on Amazon... any one have any input?

The kits may or may not contain the tools you need, but I can guarantee that they will not provide the skill required.
PDR does require an understanding of how a dent is created, so that the process can be worked backwards.
The guys I have watched use a lot of long pick tools and a very light touch to get dents out. Lighting is another thing that seems central to the process.
Kit shown is more like $500
I played around with a friend's set when he used to do it. It's far, far easier to make a panel look worse than to make it look better.
The good guys are just amazing to watch work. The skill to hit just the right point once and shnick it's done...
Get a spare hood the tool nohome listed as a start then use a golf ball in a sock to make some dents. Definitely will need good lighting, light stand and a lot of time to practice.
