DeLorean!
There were only about 9,000 of these made so
Paintless Dent Removal on a DeLorean is not a common thing but it is interesting so I thought I would share this with you today.
The owner of this DeLorean was concerned about finding someone for paintless dent repairs and rightfully so.
He was not only the owner of this beautiful car but a Concours show Judge as well!
You see, this car is not painted and polished like other cars. In fact it is not painted at all. Therefore it does not have the same reflective properties across it's surface as other cars.
It is also made of stainless steel and the surface is brushed or "grained".

These things make a Paintless Dent Repair on a DeLorean a more challenging, or at least different task than for other cars.
Apparently when production ceased there were to be 2,000 spare body parts to help with future needs. It wasn't until later that it was discovered there were not any extra left fenders!
This makes replacement of a left fender a very expensive (read $6,000) option. And yes this car had a dent in it's left fender as well as several on the top of the gull wing door.
I learned alot more about DeLoreans that day and have a whole new appreciation for them.
I was glad the owner choose me for the repairs (I think he was also)
