Body modern car is a complex structure that performs many important functions. Its renovation is reverse side medals of importance and functionality. It is complex and labor intensive.
Conditionally body repair can be divided into two stages. The first is the elimination of dents, the replacement of elements beyond repair. Second - .
Special attention should be given to the restoration of geometry and rigidity hidden from the eyes of the lower part of the body. It is these elements that are responsible for the safety and driving performance car. All suspension elements are attached to it.
When saving on materials and tools for body repair, it must be remembered that such savings can affect the quality of body repair and be the result of common mistakes. It is about how to avoid such errors that you should familiarize yourself with the main features.
Features of body repair
We offer
Welding elements with conventional electrodes
Connecting body elements by electronic welding is difficult, but real. At the same time, the quality of such a connection is very low.
Violation of the thermal regime
If the metal is not allowed to cool during welding, then the body may shift, which will have to be additionally puttied. However, such defects can not always be corrected with putty.
Replacing parts in strict order
First of all, the doors are replaced, then the wings and thresholds are set. This is the only way to avoid the formation of gaps.
Painting not in color
This often happens if one body part is painted without a smooth transition to another. Even if the paint is matched exactly with the original, the old paint on the body has a change in shade, which is associated with fading in the sun and other environmental factors.
Shrinkage
Appear with poor quality and its insufficient drying. Usually appear after repair, when the car stands in the sun. Usually you have to re-polish the places of putty after that.
Shagreen
This is the relief of the applied paint. After painting, there is usually a shagreen on the body, but it is removed by polishing. But there is one that cannot be removed by polishing. Typically, a defect occurs when the paint is applied incorrectly, when high temperature in the chamber, viscous paint.
Dust in the paint
It usually occurs if the car is not painted in a special chamber. But when painting in a dirty chamber, it also takes place.
craters
Indentations from silicone, which had to be cut with a special knife.
Burned varnish
Appears if you work with a grinder on high speed or sanding the same place for too long, not allowing the varnish to cool.
The manifestation of rust
If the welds are poorly cleaned and primed, then rust can occur in these places, which appears through the paintwork.
Fulfilling car body repair in particular welding work, then for welding you need to use a semi-automatic or argon welding. With the help of such welding, metal up to 1 mm thick can be boiled and the possibility of burning through body elements is excluded.
Body damage can be mild, moderate or severe. Straightening usually does not require special skills and using professional tools and materials will be within the power of everyone. Only certain difficulties and the need for skills may arise during straightening work after medium and complex damage to the body.
If more than 70% of the body needs repair, it will be cheaper to buy new car, don't you do body repair and sell the old one for parts.
You need to paint the car with fresh paint. The primer will help you identify irregularities and putty them with a finishing putty. You can paint only after the putty and primer have completely dried.
For painting, use a special spray gun. The paint should dry in special conditions of the camera without direct sunlight. Polishing is permissible only after the complete drying of the paintwork.
You did not fit into the dimensions when leaving the garage? Hooked next parked car when leaving the parking lot? Did you perform the maneuver incorrectly and damage the car against other cars, a tree, a pole or other obstacle? Then you will definitely need body repair services.

High-quality body repair is considered one of the most expensive services that require a lot of work. The body of the car has the main bearing function, all the load that occurs as a result of the movement of the car is transferred to the elements of the body. Therefore, special requirements for strength and reliability apply to it. Except repair work aimed at restoring the integrity of the body, aesthetic procedures are also carried out, for example, straightening or painting.
Straightening
This type of high-quality body repair consists in leveling and restoring original form deformed body parts. This process is quite painstaking and can be performed only if there is special tools. Straightening is used for damage caused by an accident or other circumstances and usually includes grinding, welding and fitting. If the deformation is local and insignificant, then straightening occurs with the help of special hammers. Straightening is also used before painting a car, if necessary.
Paintwork
This type of work is carried out to restore appearance transport, and is also preventive measure against corrosion. Since the body is considered the most vulnerable part of the car, the need for paint and varnish can arise not only as a result of an accident, but also with careful use of transport. Most of the vehicles in use have mechanical damage body part, which result from the ingress of construction debris or stones that have bounced off the road. The cost of painting a car depends on the amount of damage.
Welding
Welding is used to restore the integrity of the body. The most problematic parts of the car that have been damaged as a result of corrosion are subjected to welding. Most often, the metal loses its strength in those places where for a long time moisture accumulated. If necessary, some sections of the body can be cut out, and a segment is superimposed on this place, the edges of which are polished after welding.
There are several methods, among which welding using electrodes and carbon dioxide semi-automatic can be distinguished. The disadvantages of the first method are bulky equipment and large seams, and the advantages are ease of use. The advantages of the second method are expressed in versatility and neat seams, while the disadvantages are in high cost and the inability to weld iron with a thickness of more than 3 mm.
Large block repair
It does not always make sense to repair individual panels or body parts, sometimes it is easier to replace them. IN similar cases carry out large-block quality body repair.
Anti-corrosion treatment
This method is a preventive measure associated with quality repair body. disrespectful attitude towards anti-corrosion treatment body surface can lead to overhaul. Among the means of combating corrosion, the most common compositions are paraffin-based, bituminous mastic, non-drying oil formulations, liquid plastic and PVC.
Restoration of body geometry
This method can be attributed to the capital high-quality body repair. Restoring body geometry is a painstaking process that requires high-quality performance. The geometry of the body can be broken not only due to an accident, but also when one of the wheels gets into the pit. Violation of geometry can be determined if fuel consumption and tire wear have increased, vehicle controllability has decreased, for example, the car is moving to the side on a straight road, the appearance of vibrations on high speed. Geometry is restored on special equipment with precise computer calculations.
