Can small-scale sheet metal painting be completed in one day?
1 Answers
Small-scale sheet metal painting cannot be completed in one day, as the process is time-consuming. Below is the workflow for sheet metal painting: Determine the repair plan: Before starting the sheet metal painting, the repair technician needs to assess the extent of the vehicle's damage to determine the repair plan. Different levels of damage require different solutions. Sheet metal shaping: For deformed areas, cutting, grinding, stretching, heat shrinking, and oxidation treatment are performed. It's important to note that sheet metal work not only restores the vehicle's original appearance but also maintains the hardness of the metal material as much as possible. Applying filler and shaping: After sheet metal correction, the repair technician will shape the body lines by applying filler and adjusting the smoothness. Painting: The painting process is complex and involves multiple steps, including applying primer, mid-coat primer, color matching, topcoat painting, and paint drying. This must be done in a dust-free environment. Paint finishing: Even after painting, there may be minor imperfections. The repair technician will use ultra-fine sandpaper or a polishing machine to refine the surface and restore the vehicle's gloss.
