1 Answers
When a small dent appears on the car door, it can be repaired through panel beating and painting. Panel beating is a comprehensive cold-working process for thin metal sheets, which involves restoring the deformed parts of the car's metal shell. After panel beating, the car's metal surface may experience paint wear and peeling due to tool operations, so painting is necessary to restore the door's aesthetic appeal. The main techniques of panel beating include: 1. Stretching: Using a specialized panel beating platform to stretch the compressed and deformed frame back to its original state as required by the specifications; 2. Hammering: Utilizing hammers of various materials, sizes, and shapes, along with different molds, to restore bent, dented, or bulged parts to their original state by controlling the force and angle of the hammering; 3. Welding and Patching: Mastering and skillfully applying techniques such as electric welding, oxy-welding, and argon arc welding to weld and repair broken or damaged parts back to their original condition; 4. Sanding: Using various sanding materials and tools to smooth the repaired surface in preparation for the painting process.
