Restoring a 2022 Ford F-150 with Paintless Dent Repair in Shawnee
By Bryan Wilson, Owner & Lead Technician
This Antimatter Blue F-150 took a storm at a home in western Shawnee. Its owner parks the truck outside in one of the area's growing neighborhoods and found the hood, roof, and bed dimpled after a spring cell. Paintless dent repair was the route — and on a 2022 F-150, that means handling aluminum.
A modern F-150 means aluminum hail repair, and that's our specialty. Ford's aluminum body panels are stiffer than steel and hold dents harder, so they demand heat-assisted technique and glue-pull methods rather than standard rod work. We do all of it in-house, with no farming the truck out and no extra week. Our aluminum hail repair page shows exactly how we handle these panels.
One phone call and the owner stepped back. We picked the F-150 up from Shawnee, ran the LED inspection, counted 88 dents, and documented them in CCC ONE format before coordinating the claim. Comprehensive insurance covered the repair and most customers pay nothing out of pocket. Our hail damage insurance claim hub explains the flow.
The F-150 returned to Shawnee with its Antimatter Blue finish factory-perfect. No repaint, no filler, no CARFAX flag. We handle a lot of trucks with paintless dent repair in Shawnee. For other aluminum jobs, see how we fixed a 2015 Ford F-150 in Olathe or a 2024 Ford F-150 in Liberty.
The lifetime warranty matters more on aluminum than most people realize. Done wrong, an aluminum dent can stress and reappear months later — which is exactly why we keep this work in-house and stand behind every panel for as long as the owner has the truck. All 88 dents came out of the F-150, the factory Antimatter Blue stayed original, and there's nothing on the vehicle history. He paid nothing out of pocket between comprehensive and deductible assistance. For a near-new truck in a growing Shawnee neighborhood, the combination of correct aluminum technique and a written guarantee was worth far more than the nearest quote. He'd called two other shops first; both wanted to sublet the aluminum work to a third party and tack on an extra week. We kept it in-house, turned it around fast, and handed him the keys to a truck that looks exactly like it did before the storm rolled through western Shawnee.
