Mitsubishi L200 into Scratchmaster for Bodywork on the near side rear panel.
Very big Dent and ideally needed a replacement panel but considering cost our customer opted for a repair.
We could only offer a repair to return the panel to approximately 70%-80% of its original form. The dent was around 500mm around with various other smaller dents around.
The panel is very stretched from the impact and had lost its integrity.
The colour black also highlights the very smallest of imperfections.
We used a couple of different techniques to pull out the steel to as near original shape as possible before finishing off with Car Body filler.
Quite a few hours of laborious rubbing down but eventually we got a shape back in the panel which was good enough to get the primer on.
After applying several coats of fairly thick primer we were ready for paint.
The Mitsubishi went into the Scratchmaster spray booth and was painted with a water based colour finished with three coats of high quality high solid lacquer.
Repair took 4 days start to finish.
