Car Body Repair. Hyundai Getz (2002 release)

If you scratch the surface and does not affect the metal body panels, its repair is carried out very simply. To remove loose paint particles and wax coating lightly rub the scratched area of fine grinding paste. Rinse the treated area with clean water.

Small brush paint scratch paint for exterior body panels. Continue to apply paint to a layer by layer until the inside surface scratch reaches the surface level of the surrounding paint panel. Give the new paint to polymerize for at least two weeks, then grind the transition surface flush with the rest of the cover panel with very fine grinding paste. Finally, coat the surface treated with wax.

If the scratch has penetrated through the layer of paint to reach the metal body and cause it to corrode, should use a different technology renovation. Penknife from scratch scrape the rust powder, then treat the surface of a corrosion inhibitor to prevent the development of corrosion in the future. Rubber or plastic spatula cover treated

an inhibitor of the damaged area filler. If necessary, and this is particularly useful for narrow scratches putty to form a fine filler paste can be diluted with a solvent. Before the plaster hardens within the crack, wrap fingertip smooth cotton cloth. Then, moistened finger in the solvent quickly slide it along the surface of the putty scratch - it will make a slightly concave surface. Now, after hardening putty paint scratches can be treated in accordance with the instructions given to cases where the scratch does not affect the metal.

When repairing dents priority is to draw the deformed surface with a view to removing its initial level. Attempts to achieve full compliance with the original do not make sense, since it is still not possible in view of the violations of the internal structure of the metal body panels on impact. It is optimal excretion of the concave surface to a level about 3 mm below the surface of the undamaged area surrounding the body panel. If the dent is shallow, its total extension does not make sense.

In the case where a concave portion is accessible from the back side of the panel should try Align the dent from the inside with a hammer with striker of soft material (rubber, plastic). Tapping dent tightly pressed against the side of her face mallet to damp the impact in order to avoid excessive bending outwardly deformed metal panel.

If the dent portion formed on the bilayer panel or access thereto from the back side is not possible for any other reason, it is necessary to use another technique stretching. Take in the concave portion of the panel a few small holes, trying to they found themselves in the most recessed areas dents. Then the screw holes in the long self-tapping screws, leaving their heads sticking out so that it was possible for them to grab pliers. Now start pulling dent forceps for screws.

In the next processing step to remove dents damaged surface portion and a width of about 3 cm around residues refinishing. This work is best done with a wire attachment or peeling disc in the chuck of an electric, but no less effective treatment and sandpaper manually. The final stage of preparation for the putty - scratching the paint peeled

dented metal screwdriver or a fragment of a file or drilling small holes in it to ensure maximum adhesion to the surface of the filler metal. Then you can proceed to the fillers and coloring.

With shkuryaschey or wire nozzle clamped in the chuck of an electric, remove all traces of paint from the damaged area and the section width of about 3 cm around it. In the absence of the possibility of using an electric work can be done as effectively sandpaper manually.

to determine whether it makes sense to start repairing or would be wiser to replace the panel (if it is possible in principle). The new panels can be purchased not too expensive, as many motorists. It is often much faster and even more economical to install the new panel than to repair the extensive damage to the body.

Remove the damaged panel, all the elements of decoration of the body, except those that can serve as a guide to re-create the original shape of the deformed sections (such as the lining of block headlights, etc.). Tin snips or a hacksaw blade, remove any loose loose, loose and hopelessly corroded sections of metal. Then fold the edge of the hole with a hammer inside to form a recess, which will be filled with putty.

Before the start of filler plug the hole. This can be done, riveted or privernuv to the damaged area on the back of his hand a piece of tin or blocking the hole with wire mesh.

Available in a lot of body fillers, but it should be noted that for this type of work is best attached to the kit to repair the body panels putty paste hardener. In order to achieve the smoothness and accuracy of the contour surface of the putty, paste should be applied flexible plastic or nylon spatula. Strictly follow the manufacturer's instructions putty (violation may lead to incorrect congealed putty), mix a small amount of filler on a clean wooden or cardboard surface (carefully use a hardener).

Trowel, apply a plaster on a pre-prepared surface of the damaged portion of the body panels. To achieve the desired surface contour and the level of each stroke with a spatula putty should pass through the entire repair area. Once filled, the surface of the circuit will be close to the target, stop immediately apply the putty, as it is, freezing, begins to Podlipaev spatula, forming lumps and leaving broken away on the treated surface. Continue paste layers applied at intervals of about 20 minutes to until the surface level of putty will not protrude slightly above the surrounding metal panel.

After curing the surplus of putty can be removed with a file. Then begins the stage of sanding and polishing the surface of the putty. It is best suited for this purpose, waterproof sandpaper. You start with a coarse-grained paper ?��180 and then successively decreasing grain finish ?��600. To achieve adequate treatment surface flatness, should first paper wrap around the bar of solid rubber (wood or foam) or sticked on it. During the processing of the paper should be regularly and frequently wet with water. This technology allows the final stage to get absolutely smooth and level the surface.

The treated surface must be surrounded by a ring of pure metal that ends gradually tapering off a layer of paint. Rinse the treated surface with clean water, washing away from it all formed during grinding dust.

From an aerosol can apply a thin layer of the treated surface a primer layer of a light, a so-called developing layer. This will reveal all committed in the course of grinding defects that can be eliminated by coating them with a new layer of putty. Repeat sanding and polishing. Repeat putty, primer and surface treatment to obtain satisfactory (for the quality of the surface) results. Upon completion, rinse the treated surface with water and dry it.

The surface is now ready for staining. Painting a car from an aerosol can be carried out in still, dry, warm and dust-free air. The most fully meet these requirements and conditions of the spacious enclosed heated space. If circumstances

forced to carry out a body painting in the open air, it should be very serious about the choice of suitable weather conditions. When working indoors, remove dust, splashing water, the floor space. If it is a painting of a single body panel of a vehicle, cover the surrounding undamaged panel. This precaution will minimize the effect of small differences in the colors of the old and new colors. Such trim elements as decorative chrome strips, door handles, etc., should also cover (and preferably completely removed). For the protection of non stained surfaces, use a special adhesive tape (masking tape) and old newspapers, which should be applied in several layers.

Before embarking on a color from an aerosol can, shake it thoroughly, then apply the paint on the surface of the trial, practicing the technique staining. Cover prepared for painting the surface layer of soil. The required layer thickness is achieved by applying multiple thin layers of soil. Sparing no water, waterproof sandpaper ?��600 treat primed surface, achieving its absolute smoothness. Before proceeding to the final color of the ground allow to dry completely.

Apply a coat of paint, again achieving a desired thickness due to its repeated application. The color of the start from the center of the repair area; hand making a circular motion with the spray, increase their range, moving in a spiral until until it is all covered the damaged area, and part of the old paint on a width of about five centimeters. After 10-15 minutes (not later, so as not to damage the edge begins to freeze fresh paint) after the last coat of paint peel covering the surrounding body panels newspaper and sticky tape. The paint is completely polymerized for about two weeks and then to smooth the transition from the fresh paint applied to the previously treated surface of the recovered fine grinding paste. Finally, apply a layer of the panel protector to the wax.

If there is extensive damage to the body should first make sure whether there was displacement of body parts that could affect the car's handling, or cause increased wear any of its components.

Given that most of the elements of the body (bonnet, wings, etc.) are parts that can be replaced individually, their replacement in case of serious injury does not seem appropriate. As a rule, it is much wiser and cheaper to find a suitable replacement is an element which can be found not only in the stores of spare parts, but also to the junkyard, which, of course, can significantly reduce costs.
