Fender Collision Repair

Repairing a broken car fender can be done in several ways, depending on the severity of the damage. Here are some general steps for repairing a broken car fender: Firstly, we assess the damage. We carefully inspect the fender to determine the extent of the damage. If the damage is minor, such as a small crack or scratch, it may be possible to repair the fender with little effort. However, if the damage is more severe, such as a large crack or a bent fender, it may be necessary to have it replaced. If so, we gather necessary replacement materials. Depending on the type of repair, you will need different materials. For example, if you are filling a crack, you will need a plastic filler, a plastic spreader, and sandpaper. If you are painting the fender, you will need a primer, paint, and clear coat. We always clean the fender. We clean the area around the damage with soap and water. We make sure the area is dry before proceeding with the repair. Then we repair the damage promptly. Depending on the type of damage, we will need to repair it differently. For example, if the fender is bent, we use a heat gun to soften the plastic and bend it back into shape. Sand and paint, unless, of course, it is to be replaced completely. If repair of the fender rather than replacement is requested by the client, we smooth out any rough edges and then apply primer, paint, and clear coat. We allow the paint to dry according to the manufacturer's instructions. Finally, we test fit the fender to make sure everything is lined up correctly. It is important to note that, if the damage is severe, it is best to have the fender replaced to ensure that it is safe and secure for the road. If the damage affects the structural integrity of the vehicle, it may not be safe to repair rather than replace it.
