Exact Paint matching
All newer cars have a paint code included in the specs of the car. This code is used to start the process. The painter of the car, and the employee of the auto supply that sells the paint, use this code as their starting point. Then they adjust the mixing of the paint by eyeball until they get it as close as they can.
The more modern paint suppliers and stores have computers and computerized cameras to assist in this matching procedure, but in the end, the painters eyeball is usually the final judge. This blending tricks the eye of an amateur into thinking the whole car is exactly the same color
Auto Body Frame Straightening
These machines use hydraulics and powerful torque to put your frame back into shape. Depending on the original extent of damage to your vehicle, your mechanic should be able to straighten your damaged car frame. Although such repairs are common, welding can reduce the integrity of your metal frame
Repair prices of body damage like dings and dents depend on their size. The difference between a dent and a ding has little to do with the placement and all to do with the size. We define a ding as any indention that half an inch or less in diameter. With a ding, there is no paint chipping or metal exposure to rust. Common causes of dings include contact with shopping carts, rocks, and the doors of other vehicles.
Another common cause of dings in some areas of the country are hail damage. Falling hail can cause dings to your car’s panels and depending on the size of the hail storm, the cost of damage repair can add up quickly. Thankfully, dings caused by hail can be removed by a process called paintless dent repair that we will cover later on in the blog.
Dents, on the other hand are larger and accompany more extensive damage. The same things that make dings also cause dents, but dents will have a wider area of damage. They are also more difficult to fix. This is especially true of dents caused by collisions. Significant damage can hide beneath the depressions in the metal. For example, dents often expose the metal of the elements and the result is rust damage.
