Straightening Sheet Metal Without Painting

Model: Kia Sportage MK 2, KM - Years 2004-2010
Part: Body

Often, it is possible to straighten some dents without resorting to traditional filling and painting: there are indeed specific tools available that can pull out dents without damaging the bodywork; these are suction pullers that are fixed to the centre of the dent with specific hot glue and then pulled through a dowel pin; the removal of the glue leaves no residue, and some imperfections can then be corrected using a plastic punch. It is clear that this type of repair should be carried out by qualified personnel. If the dent has already damaged the paint, a traditional repair will be necessary.
