2 Types of Body Work You Should Prioritise When Repairing Your Vehicle

All cars are bound to sustain some damage over time due to normal wear coupled with the exposure to the changing weather patterns. Thus, it is unsurprising that at some point of being a vehicle owner you will have to engage in auto bodywork to restore your vehicle to tip-top shape. While this may seem far off into the future, bodywork should never be ignored once you get into a car accident. You may think that the primary reason to opt for bodywork will be to restore the appearance of your car, but this is not entirely true. The bodywork can also go a long way in preventing future damage to your car by restoring its functionality too. If you have recently been involved in an accident, here are two types of bodywork you should prioritise when repairing your vehicle.

Auto spray painting

A new paint job can do wonders for your vehicle. And when you take into consideration how exposure to the elements will make the paint on your car fade, getting into an accident will definitely lead to chipping that will leave your car looking dingy. However, a new paint job is not simply about visual appeal. When the paint is chipped, it leaves the body vulnerable to corrosion that will eventually jeopardise the integrity of your vehicle's body. When you opt for bodywork, it is essential to have the mechanic spray-paint the car so that the sleekness and vibrancy of your vehicle are restored while simultaneously protecting the body from further damage. A brand-new paint job will also increase your chances of selling your vehicle if you choose to do so.

Auto dent repair

Another important part of bodywork that you should enlist your mechanic for is dent repair. You may be thinking that since you got involved in a mere fender bender that you can save money by overlooking dent repairs. But what you are not taking into consideration is how even the smallest dings will still leave the body of your car looking unsightly. You should also keep in mind that leaving the dents in place can compromise that particular part of your vehicle's body, which can lead to bigger indentations down the road. Moreover, if the dent is located on one of the doors, it can eventually make it challenging to close that particular door. Fortunately, there are innovative ways or repairing this damage without you having to engage in extensive restoration that can result in costly expenses.

About Me

Restoring my old beauty

I have a gorgeous old car, but the paint work sure let's you know it's old! Unfortunately my uncle had left it outside for many years and even under a tarp the Australian climate is not friendly to auto paint work. I have been trying to get the paint work back as close as possible to the original condition which is harder than it seems as modern paints have a much different finish and texture to genuine vintage paint jobs. This blog is about how to go about finding vintage paints, and faking vintage finishes with modern paints if you can't!
