Repairs dents
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 not deep, its full 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 shock pulse suppression to avoid excessive bending outwardly deformed metal panel. If the dent is formed on the bilayer panel section, or access it from the back side is not possible for any other reason, should apply a different method of 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 screw the long screws into the holes, 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, and manual handling of sandpaper. The final stage of preparation for the spackling is purified by scratching the paint metal dents 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 move on to the implementation of procedures spackling and painting.
