| Paintless Dent Repair Demo |
| We were invited to Demo 1/2 a Hood & 1/2 a Deck Lid on a 2002 Chevrolet Impala by one of the Largest Paintless Dent Repair Companies in the world for the Nation's No. 1 Insurer of cars for a display at one of their training seminars in Texas. |

| Chandra and Tom working on the Hood panel. We are a husband & wife team that has been repairing dents together since 1993. |
| Before we started, we duct taped the underneath of the hood. This minimizes scratching the panel. |
This is an example of tapping down a high spot that is made
when repairing a dent.

We use duct tape & plastic tips on the end of our tools to
prevent scratching the underneath of a panel.
Sometimes the brace gets in the way of repairing a dent. We
have specialized tools with flat tips that allow us to reach
dents that fall in the area where a brace exists. That's why
taping the tool & panel is important to prevent scratching as
much as possible.

| This hood is now ready to be re-installed on the vehicle. |
Once the hood is re-installed on the vehicle, we then look it
over carefully & repair any flaws or low spots that we didn't
see while on the hood stand.
There were some low spots up towards the windshield that
weren't accessible or difficult to repair while the hood was on
the vehicle or on the hood stand. The red tabs on the right
side of the hood are Glue Tabs that were carefully centered
on the low spots that will be pulled with our Glue Puller to
bring the low spots up as level as possible.
