Dent repair with paint - Królewiec

Restoring geometry before finishing

The most important stage is correctly bringing the metal back into shape. Depending on the case, we work from the inside, from the outside, or combine techniques. The goal is to recover the correct surface and body line before further surface preparation.

This approach helps avoid random straightening and lets us match the following steps to the panel's actual condition.

Scope carried out at the workshop

• repair of sharp and deep deformations
• repairing panels with damaged paint
• using PDR techniques within hybrid repairs
• preparing panels for repainting
• checking the geometry once bodywork is complete

How we restore the shape of more difficult damage

With deep deformation, a panel usually has not just a low point, but also secondary tension zones around the dent. If we only focus on pushing the centre out, the metal can stay wavy. That's why we plan the repair around the whole pattern of deformation - high points, creases, body lines, and areas where the material has been stretched.

The work is done in stages. Depending on the panel, we use access from the inside, outside pulling techniques, and tools for checking the surface. The goal is a stable geometry that will be a good base for further preparation and repainting.

Checks before handing the panel on for further work

After shaping the metal, we check the panel's line under technical lighting. We pay particular attention to body lines and the transitions between the repaired area and the untouched part of the panel. It's exactly these spots where waviness under the paint is easiest to leave behind unnoticed.

If the scope involves working with a paint sprayer, we hand the panel over only once the bodywork stage is finished to an agreed standard. This way each stage has a clearly defined goal and doesn't mask problems left over from an earlier one.
