What Is Panel Beating? How Does It Work?

Panel beating is an automotive repair process aimed at restoring and repairing the bodywork of a vehicle. This includes dents, creases, scratches, or other deformations. Its purpose is to return a vehicle’s panels to their original shape, so they not only look good but also perform the required function.

Here’s how a car panel beating process works:

Assessment

The first step is to evaluate the extent of damage on the panels. This evaluation determines the required repairs and helps develop a suitable plan of action.

✓

Disassembly

If necessary, certain parts of the vehicle might need to be disassembled for better access to the damaged panels.

✓

Straightening

Car panel beaters use various panel beating tools and techniques to carefully and skilfully get rid of dents and creases from the damaged panels. This includes hammers, dollies, and specialised equipment.

✓

Welding & Filling

In cases where the damage has caused holes or severe deformations, welding and filling techniques are employed to restore the metal to its original shape.

✓

Smoothing

After the dents have been removed and the panels restored, the surface is smoothed out or planished to create a seamless finish.

✓

Repainting

Once the panel has retained its original shape, it is prepped and repainted to match your car’s paint job.

✓

Reassembly

After all the aforementioned steps and repairs are completed, all disassembled parts are reattached to the vehicle. Now, it’s set for the road.

✓

It’s important to note that while minor panel beating work can be done by almost any auto repair shop, complex repairs require more in-depth work and the expertise of professionals like Phantom Autobody.
