1. PAINTLESS DENT REPAIR (PDR) FAQ
Q: What is Paintless Dent Repair (PDR)?
A: Paintless Dent Repair is an innovative process of gently massaging out dings and dents from the inside of a damaged metal panel using specially designed tools. PDR saves you time and money – while protecting the original paint finish of your vehicle! PDR is earth safe, requiring no sanding, painting, electricity or disposal of chemical waste.
Q: How much does PDR cost compared to traditional body shop repairs?
A: On the average, choosing paintless dent repair can save you as much as 50 to 75% when compared to traditional repair methods involving filling, sanding and repainting. Small dings start at just $75. Baseball-sized dents start at $135, and soccer ball sized dents start at $369. Ask about discounts for multiple dings
The true cost savings of PDR are much greater your time is considered. We can complete your repair in one day, with mobile service usually completed within 1 to 3 hours, compared to the many days or even weeks required for traditional repairs.

2. Plastic Bumper Repair FAQ
Q: How does plastic bumper repair service work?
A: The average repair begins with reshaping and sanding down the damaged area. When deep scratches and/or gouges exist, we add a polyurethane filler designed to remain flexible after the completion of the drying stages. Final sanding is then required in order to return the bumper to its original shape and integrity.
When the preparation is complete, Auto Paint Cosmetics Hawaii applies a coat of primer before the initial color layer is sprayed. Next, we retrieve the paint code directly from your vehicle and use a computer to obtain the perfect formula to match your vehicle’s color. Then we are ready to apply generous coats of paint before we finally seal and protect your finish with a clear coat application. The process is completed with a thorough polish to make your vehicle shine. We use only the highest quality products, and we are happy to offer a lifetime warranty on all paint work.
