Being obsessed and chasing perfection are two excellent qualities to have in PDR! keep watching keep learning and when you are ready start training www.learnpdronline.com
Thanks Frank I'm glad it helped. Lines can be tricky when the damage is large or complex but for me there's nothing better for checking the fine details upon the finishing stages
It really depends what other jobs you are comparing it to. Within the body repair side of the motor trade, PDR is generally considered to be one of the harder skills to master but once established it can also be one of the most profitable. Depending on what training you do and how much time you have to practise I would estimate 6-12 months to get to a level where you can remove basic small dent damage to a high level, then as your skills improve you can start to take on medium, large and more complex repairs. Also depends if you intend to work for yourself or for another company as to how long it takes to get enough incoming work to make your business viable. It is a great industry and still growing but its not an overnight money maker.
Thank You for the tips Tom, I use both Fog and Line board at times. I like the line board you're using, where can I purchase one like yours? Much appreciated.
Thanks Javani, Lines and Fog is a killer combo, best of both worlds in my opinion, here is the link to mine - www.pdrprotools.co.uk/reading-board-tight-lines-white-backing-p-412.html
I have a line board that was included in a kit I bought that has built in LED backlighting, but it seems the lines are much more widely spaced. I may just try printing out a line grid on a laser printer and place it on a foam board to see if the fine spacing works better-
Hi, do you mean hooks like which 'hook' shaped bars I use during a repair? and what part do you mean to work correctly? What stage are you at now in your PDR journey?
Been ripping through your videos man! Once I get started on something I obsess and perfect it. This career is perfect for me

hello
is your videos give me enough technique to star pdr fixing ???
which tools I need as a beginner???
Hi Ali, yes I have over 100 free videos here on youtube and all of the training videos are accessed via our main site - Learn PDR Online
I’m just about to start doing pdr. How hard is it in long term to learn and maintain the skill, compared to other jobs?
