There are usually two ways to repair car dents: one is sheet metal painting and the other is car dents. A friend of the owner asked if the car had dents that needed repairing or painting. Today, Bian Xiao, a reliable automobile maintenance network, will give you an analysis of the differences and their respective characteristics of these two methods for repairing dents.

1. What are car body painting and dent repair?

Sheet metal painting is a kind of automobile repair technology, which is to repair the deformed part of automobile metal shell. For example, if the car body shell is knocked out of a pit, it can be restored to its original state by sheet metal, and then the deformed car metal surface can be restored to the same brightness as other intact places by spraying special paint.

Automobile dent repair is a repair method aiming at not damaging the paint surface. It can repair special deformation damage without painting, and the original paint surface can be 100% after repair, eliminating the processes of polishing, sheet metal, filling and painting. However, the car dent repair process needs a good sheet metal foundation and must have full patience. Probably because of one thing, the dent repair has become a sheet metal repair.

2. The difference between car dent repair and body panel painting.

The main function of painting and repairing is to simply and quickly carry out sheet metal treatment on the damaged paint surface to restore the damaged surface to its original state, and then carry out the repair process. Its advantage is that it can be applied to most automobile body injuries. And the warranty period of the repaired car body can reach more than ten years, and the application range is wide. Its disadvantage is that the operation is complicated, and it can only be completed through various processes, and the repair effect is not very prominent.

Compared with sheet metal painting, the advantage of car dent repair is that it saves complicated operation process and can retain the original car paint. However, the premise of repair is that the depression does not damage the original car paint surface. Therefore, without damaging the original car paint, Bian Xiao suggested choosing paint-free dent repair technology.

As for the car with a dent, is it better to repair it or paint it? The technical experts of the reliable automobile maintenance network suggest that you need to choose an effective maintenance method according to the damaged position and degree of the specific car pit. The paint on the damaged part of the car pit is intact and not at the edge. It is recommended to choose the garage for maintenance. If the primer is damaged and the damaged part lives in the rib, it can only be repaired by sheet metal painting. As for the effect of maintenance, no matter which way is chosen, the effect should refer to the undamaged state of the original car, which is also the purpose of car maintenance: to restore the original appearance.
