Can Car Body Dents Be Repaired?
1 Answers
Car body dents can be repaired. Generally, the larger the dent, the longer the repair time will take. Different degrees of dents require different repair methods. Repair Methods for Minor Dents: Minor dents are surface damage where only the metal panel is dented, and the paint is not damaged. Special hooks can be used to pry out the dent, followed by tapping it back into place with a rubber hammer and smoothing it out. This method causes minimal damage to the car's paint. Alternatively, car owners can use suction rods or bridge-type dent repair tools. Fix the suction cup to the car body, place the suction rod on top of the small suction cup, and pull it up forcefully. Then, gradually move the suction cup and repeat the pulling process. When using a bridge-type dent repair tool, fix two suction cups on either side of the dent, apply strong adhesive to the dent, and once the adhesive is set, use its pulling force to restore the dent to its original shape. Repair Methods for Moderate Dents: Moderate dents involve damage to surface components and the paint, but the underlying frame remains intact. In such cases, repairs must be done at a professional panel beating and painting facility. Repair Methods for Severe Dents: Severe dents often come with damage to the vehicle's frame, requiring replacement of the affected parts followed by a full-body repaint.
