This Honda Pilot hood-repair is definitely the highlight of my week! π₯΅ Severe-damage on an aluminum-hood with only maybe 5% tool-access from underneath, this was an uphill-battle all the way using only external glue-pull and a journey into "lateral-tension", the hottest-trend in the PDR-world right now. Lateral-tension made a BIG-difference in speeding this up and saving that wicked-crown up top from blowing-out the paint when the apex of the dent finally released. This was not a perfect-repair at the end of the day with plenty of small cosmetic-flaws, but the end-goal of cleaning this up as much as possible was achieved. ππ
