I'm quite familiar with paintless dent repair (PDR), a method that fixes minor dents without repainting. The technical principle is straightforward: technicians use specialized tools to gradually push or pull the dent from inside or outside the car, such as with suction cups or hooks, to restore the metal to its original shape. The entire process doesn't involve sanding or painting, so the original factory paint is preserved, maintaining the car's value. I've tried it on shallow dents caused by minor collisions, and the results were good—usually fixed within half an hour, much faster than traditional painting. The benefits are cost savings and environmental friendliness, avoiding the pollution from chemical paints. However, the limitation is that it's not suitable for deep dents or damage with cracked paint, so it's best to go to a professional shop to ensure quality.
