Dents on the body of a car can arise not only as a result of a traffic accident. The impact of the ball on the hood or fender, as well as other mechanical influences on the metal parts of the car, may well lead to the formation of dents. The choice of how to repair defects will depend on the degree of damage.
Instructions
Step 1
If the dent covers a large area and the paintwork is intact, use PDR technology to straighten the metal, which can significantly save on repair costs.
Step 2
Armed with special tools with vacuum suction cups, apply high temperature to the damaged area along with compressed air. In most cases, this method allows you to return the body parts to their original appearance, and there is no trace of a dent.
Step 3
You can also try to fix large dents by using a set of levers of different lengths to pull out the metal. Such repairs can be done independently, and the necessary tools can be purchased from specialized stores.
Step 4
If a body part has a shallow dent (up to a few millimeters), and the paintwork is damaged, you can use a putty. Such repairs will require subsequent painting, which is better to be entrusted to professionals.
Step 5
To correct the defect, thoroughly clean the damaged area with sandpaper, then apply a putty and sand until it is completely leveled. Then prime the repair site, and only then paint.
Step 6
Repair deep dents with damaged paintwork by heating and cooling the metal. If this method does not give the desired effect, straightening should be performed using special tools.
