I had a guy come out to remove some dings on a car from a company called Colors on Paradise. He did a great job and you can not even tell where the dings where. I just wanted to reccomend him to anyone that needs some work in the Sacramento area. I also spoke to him about doing a dent day or something for board members, friends and whoever. He said if we could set something up he would discount the price. I am not sure who I pass this on to from the board but if anyones is interested we could always do something in my parking lot or the next cafords event that is in the Sac area.

This guy charged me 200 dollars. He took out a large dent(not even a ding) on the drivers rear quarter. He worked that for awhile. 2 on the drivers door. 2 on the hood. 2 on the roof and 2 on the passenger door. So a total of 9 dings. I called dentpro first and they wanted 150 for the first ding and like 70 dollars each for all the rest. They would of been close to 600 dollars and they would not even come look at it first. They just told me to go to there website and take the size of the biggest one and that is your starting price. Then measure all the rest and they would be 1/2 off. What I like about this guy is that he actually comes out and looks at the car and gives you a bid on the total job not per ding.

No, it does not mess the paint up unless the paint is messed up from the ding. You can not even tell where mine were.

We made sure that he had access to all the places so no holes were drilled.

PDR guys are definitely skilled.
If you see an expert in action you will definitely be amazed. Most of the instances it looks like it was never there.
They make bank too!

i had a guy from the DentGuys come out about 3months ago. The guy did a great job, couldn't even tell the dings were there anymore. He did a total of 8 dings for $125..but 3 months later the paint where the dings were is barely cracking...still looks better then having dings though

retail....I payed retail, but i had a non-military discount and my library card and I still payed retail???? We all can not be as lucky of knowing someone that does it. I was happy with the job he did for the price. I was just saying he did a good job and was cheaper than other companies. [ March 24, 2006, 01:17 PM: Message edited by: Dag302 ]
