Recommended equipment

[SprayKing]

I do mobile Paint repairs and am lookinig into adding PDR and Windshield repairs to my customers. What equipment would you all recommend to just do the typical repairs on windshields. It will not be my main source of income, something I would like to add as an extra service.

thanks, and do you recommend the free training service Delta Kits offers?

I would certainly go for Delta kits and definately do the training.
As for pdr have you looked into this I have been doing it for about 6 years and can tell you without really good training it is very hard to learn, but I would certainly put it as the most profitable smart repair there is.Try http://WWW.doording.com for more info. Must say your website looks good.

I'll qualify this by saying I don't use Delta's equipment.

I would definitely buy Delta equipment. Their system does incredible repairs and cuts out any of the silly add on mess other manufacturers use to lure customers to buy their product. The 3 things needed to fill any break are resin, pressure and vaccuum. All three are provided in more than ample amounts with Delta's equipment. Add to that the ease of operation and it's a simple decision.

I have been to Delta's training and recommend it. If you don't get their training, get training from someone. It greatly reduces the learning curve.

Thanks guys, I appreciate the info on Delta Kits.

As for PDR I have looked into it and am awaiting some cheap tools I bought from B&D. For the price I figured I would buy them even though I have no clue what I am doing PDR wise. I am looking into maybe doing the training thing. I do know in the Spray Paint world there are alot of HACK teachers out there and want to avoid this PDR wise. I know as with painting everything takes practise and time.

If there are any PDR guys wanting to learn how to spot repair vehicles maybe we can teach each other? ; )

thanks again!

Look for Keith DePaul on doording.com he in my opinion is the best trainer you will find. I picked up paint repairs no problem, pdr is tough.
