What does a panel beater do?
A panel beater repairs damaged vehicles, specifically the outer body panels and structure. This includes removing dents, replacing damaged sections, straightening frames, and preparing surfaces for spray painting. They work with tools like hammers, dollies, pulling systems, and welders to reshape and restore metal or plastic panels. Panel beaters are commonly used after accidents, hail damage, or corrosion issues.
How long does panel beating take?
The timeframe for panel beating depends on the extent of the damage. Minor dents and scratches may take just one to two days to repair, while more serious collision damage can take a week or more. Jobs that involve replacing panels, colour matching, and curing spray paint often require additional drying or curing time. Insurance claims may also affect turnaround depending on assessment delays.
Is spray painting included in panel beating?
Yes, spray painting is often a part of the panel beating process, especially after repairs where paint has been scratched, sanded, or removed. A good panel beater will ensure the new paint matches the original vehicle colour and finish. Spray painting includes preparation, primer application, base colour, and clear coat, and must be done in a dust-controlled environment for best results.
