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.). Using 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 material.

Use the wire brush to remove the damaged metal powder rust. If you have access to the underside of the damaged area, it treat the corrosion inhibitor.

Before the start of spackling hole must be plugged. 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.

Once the hole is closed, the damaged area can be putty and paint.
