Q: How long will it take to learn paintless dent repair (PDR)?
A: It depends on the person. You should spend five days a week, at least four hours each day practicing. The more time you spend in practice, the more your skill level will improve. 10 to 15% each week on dime, nickel & quarter size dings. Slow down, implement each step of the technique and train your eyes to see in detail. This could take three weeks or three months, depending on the quality of time you spend in training and practice.
