Panel Beating and Spray Painting in Cradock

About panel beating and spray painting

Panel beating covers everything from a car park dent to a structural repair after a serious collision. Small dents where the paint is unbroken can often be fixed with paintless dent removal, which is quick and much cheaper than filling and respraying. Where paint is damaged, the panel is repaired or replaced, primed, colour matched and blended into the adjacent panels so the repair does not stand out. Colour matching is a skill, especially on metallics and pearls, and a good shop will spray a test card before touching the car. For insurance work, the shop must be approved by your insurer or you may have to fund the difference yourself. Ask whether the shop is RMI or SAMBRA affiliated, ask for a written warranty on paintwork, and ask how long the car will be off the road, because parts availability drives most delays in South Africa. Photograph the vehicle before you hand it over.
