Incredible work. These techniques have so many limitations such as metal thickness, anything other than original paint, no filler present, to name a few. That said, most quality body shops retain a quality pdr to aid in the right circumstance.
I'm really impressed with the preparedness of this tech. and how well the glue and oem paint held up to the stresses.

Wow, yeah, he did a fantastic repair on that huge dent. The reversed body line pull was amazing.
I had the guy that worked out of Centerlines building do PDR on all my vehicles and I could never see where the dent had been. I wish I had taken a pic of the used fuel tank I bought for my Harley to have painted. It had a dent about the size of a soft ball on the right side. He wasn't sure how good he could get it, but I told him to do the best he could and the body guy/painter would take care of the rest. I could barely make out a couple minute ripples when he was done and the body guy said he'd never seen PDR at that level before. Adam was very good.

Looks like just regular hot gun glue. I used it recently and was shocked at how strong it is. Supposedly, it is removable with regular rubbing alcohol.

I still have a hard time believing he got this job done without paint work.
