Diagnostics
The easiest way to determine if there is a dent on the car fenders is to take a stencil painted with stripes of equal size (preferably black and yellow). It is necessary to hold it near the part, looking at it like in a mirror. Any dents, even unnoticeable to the naked eye will distort the stripes in the image.
Particular attention during the fenders inspection should be paid to the part edges. If you have chips on the paint, you should apply special anti-rust coating to the metal or paint the part. There are no special requirements for the frequency of the diagnosis, but it is necessary to run a visual examination of the body and its component parts every few months.
Repair and replacement of fenders
Repair work sequence and peculiarities are directly dependent on the kind and extent of the part damage. Small dents can be fixed without removing the part. and the original part shape is restored with an extension bar and a jack.
In case of more serious damages the part must be removed for repair. Flattening must be made on special straightening machine. Correction of major dents is carried out from the edges to the center of irregularities. After straightening the item must be primed and repainted.
The paint selection process is performed using computer diagnosis. Painting a small part area is possible, but it is very difficult to achieve undetectable color transition. In most cases, the straightened fender is completely repainted. It is important not to skimp on the coating and use the original brand of paint to avoid paint discoloration or fading.
In case of a serious damage and extensive corrosion the part must be replaced.
