Jet Dent Repair: A Unique Challenge - Washington, PA

While we primarily specialize in repairing dents on cars and trucks, we've had the unique opportunity to tackle larger and more complex projects. Years ago, we successfully repaired a jet that had sustained dents on its body. This experience, combined with Gene's expertise in paintless dent repair (PDR), allowed him to take on a recent challenge: repairing a jet that had been damaged at a local airport.

The Challenge of Jet Dent Repair

Repairing a jet is a significant undertaking, requiring extensive knowledge in paintless dent repair and understanding how metal moves. However, the principles of PDR, which involve carefully manipulating the metal back to its original shape, can be applied to various surfaces, including aircraft.

Gene Fetty, equipped with his skill and a variety of PDR tools, meticulously assessed the damage to the jet. The goal was to minimize the impact on the aircraft's structural integrity while restoring its original appearance.

The Repair Process

The repair process involved several steps:

1. Assessment: A thorough inspection of the damaged area was conducted to determine the extent of the damage and the best approach for repair.
2. Preparation: The area around the dent was carefully cleaned to ensure optimal adhesion of the repair tools.
3. Dent Removal: Using specialized tools and techniques, he gently manipulated the metal, gradually pulling the dent out from the inside.
4. Finishing Touches: Once the dent was removed, the repaired area was carefully inspected to ensure a smooth and flawless finish.

The Outcome

Gene Fetty was able to successfully repair the dents on the jet, restoring its original shape and appearance. This project showcased the versatility of PDR and the skills of our technicians.
