Thinking about starting another side business...

Paintless dent removal...as some may know I was a auto tech for 14 years. After being away from cars for some 6 months or so I'm starting to miss working on them but not in the dealership tech world. I've been looking into PDR or paintless dent removal. Anybody here have any insight or know of anyone in this field? I've  been doing some research and it seems that there is a pretty big learning curve for the art of pushing dents and the tools aren't to cheap either. They have schools for it but they are expensive too. Some techs will train up but I've got a few quotes on training from them and some are 15k for 8 weeks of training.

That training cost seems super high.
The thing with this area is to have the "in" at dealerships, body shops and detail shops. I think just doing it independently without those "ins" would be super tough.

You can practice on my truck.    And if not PDR, how about a t!tty bar in Taintsville? Close to home, and it looked like the prospects were wide open last time I rolled through there on my scooter . . .
