PODCAST-In this episode we cover everything you need to know about motorcycle paintless dent removal (MPDR). I had the pleasure of interviewing Daniel Gromm of Dent Dynamics Paintless Dent Removal out of Santa Rosa, California. His direct website is www.dentdynamics.net, so make sure and check it out. The website has a great photo gallery and videos of what type of quality work he does. Also check out Daniel's other website at www.motorcyclepaintlessdentrepair.com. Daniel Gromm does paintless dent removal for both motorcycles and cars and has been doing so since 1993, so it is fair to say he knows exactly what he is doing.

Daniel is a paintless dent removal (PDR) expert and also an inventor and mechanical designer. Daniel has designed his own exclusive line of PDR Tools called the "Daniel Gromm Signature Series". Daniel has come to understand what is needed to access the trickiest and least accessible dents from a motorcycle gas tank and has developed a complete set of tools that feature removable tips that adapt to each dent along with adjustable handles that make the PDR job easier.

Utilizing the latest technology and tools, the skilled metal "artisans" at Dent Dynamics in Santa Rosa, CA can quickly remove many dents without repainting, all at a fraction of the cost of traditional body repair. PDR is becoming more widely used, largely because the size of dent that can be repaired has increased over the last few years. Daniel Gromm explains, "We have developed specific techniques and equipment to repair a dent the size of a football , and just a few years ago we were only repairing dents the size of a baseball."

The widespread use of resilient metal and base/clear coat paint finishes has allowed PDR to become a viable alternative to traditional body repair techniques. So much so, that some insurance companies will even waive the deductible if PDR is chosen over more traditional techniques.

As I have stated in the past, Harley Davidson and other motorcycle manufacturers do not do body work if you dent a tin, such as a gas tank or fender. They won't even release the paint codes that are necessary for matching. Nope, you must purchase the whole new tin from the factory and then do whatever you want with the damaged one. Oh, did I mention you also have to pay your insurance deductible, because tins are not cheap?

PDR is truly a great alte
