Repair of insignificant damages of lists of body

Companions see series of illustrations. These photos illustrate a method of the restoration of simple dents. They cannot be in use like the only manual of repair of a hoof of cars of this model.

1. The absence of the access at the rear party of the list of a body of the percussion of a dent, it must stretch out through the hammer with the lively escorregamento. At the most deep place of a dent, or along his edge, a nasverlita or not less than 2,5 cm fill small openings in the distance one of other...

.... then I screw 2 in adaptation in an opening and post links in action. Faucet with the hammer in the edge of a dent to help the metal to take the initial form. After the end of this proceeding the surface of a dent will bring near the initial outline and approximately in the 0,3 cm act on the surface from surrounding metal.

3. Through a rough emery paper they withdraw the painting to the naked metal. It is possible to do it manually, but the adaptation shown in a photo will help to push on the process. Through the most fine thing, approximately n ° 320, an emery paper cancels the painting in a ray not less than 2,5 cm around the siege of a dent.

4. After the removal of painting that is better to check to the touch, of which for the sight if enough the metal surface is the same. Begin to beat the hammer of the curvature and or to spread pits out where it is necessary. Compensate for the restored superficial wax or remover of stain of silicon.

5. Next educations on the packing, mix a packet from the plastic difficult putty with a hardener. The proportion of the mixture is critical and if it will break it, the difficult putty is going to be secured exaggerated slowly or exaggerated quickly (and it will not manage to put it and to give the necessary form).

6. I work quickly not to allow to be secured to the difficult putty, through the plastic aplicador with the pressing they apply it in the metal surface, securing that there is a gear full from the difficult putty to the metal. Prosecute the difficult putty that took the form near to the initial form of the prosecuted siege and lightly towered on a surrounding surface.

7. Leave greatly the putty to us one settles to such a state that can corset itself for only a nail. Through the archive or adaptation shown in a photo rudely they prosecute the difficult putty.

8. Through the rough emery the paper was concentrated in a plate or grindstone they prosecute the difficult putty that was smooth and equal. Gradually pass to more qualities and more fine than paper, always using a plate or grindstone, and it ends prosecuting the number 360 or 400.

9. As a consequence of the processing of the hand it must not feel edges of transition from the difficult putty to the naked metal and from the naked metal to the old painting. If these objectives happen, they withdraw the powder and they cover the next lists and the details of the finish.

10. Apply several layers of the escorvador in the prosecuted surface. Do not sprinkle too many escorvador that did not flow down, and after drawing each layer prior shoal leaves us. Normally here the spray of professional weapon is in use, but in shops of the motorcar the parts are available in the sale escorvador in the packet of cheap aerosol.

11. The escorvador will help to reveal defects or scratches. Fill them of the polishing briefcase. Next educations on the packing, there prosecutes fine his (n ° 360 or 400) a paper of emery to the smoothness. Repeat the polishing, the application of briefcase of polishing and his grinding until the established surface is not absolutely smooth.

12. End grinding with the very fine paper (n ° 400 or 600) to withdraw the excess of the escorvador. The dish does the siege of the processing for the water and leave us dry. Use a sticky napkin for the removal full of the powder, soon put a layer of extern painting. Do not try to rub or to apply a covering from wax in this siege until the painting does not dry completely (not less than two weeks).

Restoration of easily scratched painting and covering of varnish

If the superficial scratch also does not attack the metal of the list of body, the restoration of a painting and the covering of varnish are done extremely simply. For the removal of particles of the painting esfoliada and a wax that it covers lightly they rub the incorrect siege with the briefcase of fine grinding. Rinse the surface prosecuted with the clean water.

Through a small brush they fill the scratch with the painting of the same type and color, when what used to color of this list. One keeps on presenting that they paint a layer behind a layer until the bottom of the scratch is not even done for a surface of a surrounding painting and the covering of varnish of the list of body. We are going to paint that we are going to be polymerized inside, at least, two weeks, then to polish carefully a transitional zone with the use of briefcase of fine grinding. In the conclusion they prosecute the wax of restored list.

If the scratch finished the painting and got the metal of list, having caused the development of corrosion, the recuperation repair has to be done in another technology. A penknife splinter had been a powdered rust of a bottom of scratch, soon prosecute the inhibiting nerve of corrosion of siege damaged in order that he avoided the development in the future. Through action of the solid rubber or nylon of the aplicador they fill the damaged area from the difficult putty of the type of glyantsovochny. Necessary, which is specially useful in the moment of the elimination of narrow deep furrows, it is possible to dilute the difficult putty with the special solvent. Before the difficult putty is hardened in the scratch, roll up a fingertip cloth from gentle cotton, moisten it in the solvent, and quickly execute along the scratch. Consequently, the surface will be lightly concave. Now, after the hardening from difficult putty, the prosecuted siege can be painted with the use of the technology described in the first part of the true subsection.

Dents repair

In the moment of the repair of deep dents the tug of the deformed surface of the list of body for aims of the restoration of his initial form becomes a priority. We are going to notice what has been feeling of trying to obtain the absolute complaisance to the original overcoat like and is unattainable in view of irrevocable violations of the internal structure from metal in the moment of the punch. It will have to withdraw the deformed surface to 3 located mm of the level below which a surface of the surrounding intact part of the list enough.

In case of what the dent is superficial, the tug in general loses any signification.

If it is possible to bring near the deformed siege of a reverse side of the list, it is necessary to try to align the list of inside, metal that explores the hammer with the gentle living creature. At the same time it is necessary to pinch to the face of the siege damaged the grindstone densely of wood for aims of the reward of an impulse of punches and to avoid an excessive flexing from the restored metal.

If the dent is installed in the siege of two layers of the list of body, or the access to a last one of his reverse side is impossible for any other reason, it is necessary to modify a technique. Nasverlite in the areas it more strongly deformed of a dent several small openings, soon screws in them screws much time they autoexplore, leaving leaders of the last thing that stands out on the metal surface. Now a metal tug begins, taking leaders of screws самоконтрящимися you loosen.

In his next stage of the processing there is necessary for the clear thing completely of the painting the damaged siege and the surface of the list that goes round it in the width approximately 3 cm. He is the best of all to execute this work through a wire or mouth of grinding to the electric furadeira. Not less effectively the painting cleaning can happen and manually with the use of a paper of emery. The final stage of the preparation of a surface of a shpaklevaniye is ruggedization of naked metal of a dent for a protsarapyvaniye his screwdriver or a fragment of an archive or the perforation of small openings. The roughness of a surface increases the efficiency of the adhesion to him briefcase of spackling. Besides it is possible to begin a shpaklevaniye and the coloration of the prosecuted siege (see down).

Repair of the rusty openings and holes

Through a grinding or mouth of wire to the electric furadeira they withdraw of the damaged area and in the siege of approximately 3 cm of width around all that painting. Not less effectively they work it can be executed and manually for an emery paper. Having compensated for a surface of painting, it is possible to appreciate a corrosion of metal tariff of damage and to be defined in a question of the convenience of the realization of the repair of the list (possibly, it will be more reasonable to substitute it completely if in beginning it is possible). The new body lists very often can be acquired it does not stop such great money as it looks, – is enough to pass the couple of days, going desmontagem of round city and motor heaps. Withdraw of the list damaged all the elements of the finish of body, except those who can serve of a reference point in the moment of the restoration of the initial form of the damaged siege (for example, the revetment of lighthouses of block, etc.) . Or through a hacksaw a cloth withdraws with the scissors in the metal the parts of metal that everything is freely a suspension, pobremente fixed and desperately damaged by the corrosion. The edges of curve of hammer of an opening in the interior for aims of formation of deepening of placing in him material spackling.

Withdraw with a brush of wire of the siege damaged a powdered rust. There if will be an access to a reverse side of the list, prosecute it around the damaged inhibiting nerve of corrosion of area.

Before beginning a shpaklevaniye, it is necessary to deaden a hole. Normally one does glueing or crushing to a reverse side of the list in the damaged one his area of a part of a can, a grill of wire put into gear by the end or metal leaf from aluminum. Having blockaded confiantemente an opening, there is possible there begins a shpaklevaniye of the list and the subsequent one his coloration (see down).

The best material of a zaglushivaniye of great holes is the cloth from glass of fiber or plastic grill put into gear by the end. Having cut out the part of the convenient material for the size, bring it to a hole and I embarrass with a superposition of a reverse side of the list for briefcase pieces of spackling.

The metal leaf from aluminum produced in the best form from an insulating tape of all is convenient for the stamp of narrow holes. It is enough to withdraw a protective movie and to glue a metal leaf of a reverse side of the list of body, when deadened confiantemente has an opening. For aims of strengthening the metal leaf it can be glued in several layers.

Shpaklevaniye and coloration

Now the chemical industry attracts buyers' attention to variety more wide of several body difficult putties. Nevertheless the briefcase of spackling offered complete of plays of the repair of lists of body with the hardener annexed to him in a tube better of all is two component convenient for this type of works. Since the realization of the smoothness and the fairness of the form of the briefcase of surface of puttied have to be applied with the flexible rubber or aplicador of nylon.

The strictly next educations of manufacturers (the violation can take them to the incomplete hardening of the weight spackling), mix a small difficult putty in a plate from pure wood or leaf of a card. Try to pass a hardener carefully.

Apply with the aplicador to mixture prepared in the prosecuted one (to see in top) the surface of the damaged siege of the list of body. In order that each palmadinha receives the correct outline of the retired surface the aplicador will pass by the whole length of the restored siege. As soon as the form of the restored siege of the list comes more near to the initial, immediately it stops putting the difficult putty like, it if are secured, the podlipat will begin to an aplicador, forming pieces and leaving furrows in the prosecuted surface. Continue when a layer is applying the difficult putty behind a layer with intervals approximately 20 minutes until the level of a surface of the siege restored lightly does not do the tower on the surrounding metal of the intact part of the list.

After the briefcase hardening, the excess of the weight spackling can retire through a scraper or an archive. Besides that the stage of a zashkurivaniye and grinding begins. The best of all East work executes through a paper of waterproof emery with granulosidade uniform and strong adhesion of an abrasive (it is the production of desirable import). It is necessary to begin to grind with the paper of thick granulation n ° 40, in progressing when what is reducing granulosidade n ° 400. To carry out planeness adapted of the land they smooth the paper it is necessary to turn on the contrary the grindstone of the dense rubber, a tree or polyfoam (for the convenience paper it can be glued in the grindstone). In the processing of a superficial paper it has to be moistened regularly and very often with the water. The described technology allows to carry out the absolute smoothness of the surface restored in the final stage of the grinding.

After the realization of grinding the prosecuted siege it will be the ring surrounded with pure naked metal that ends in spite of the fact that gradually there fail the edge of the intact painting and covering of varnish. Abrasive formed during the grinding rinses the prosecuted siege of the list with the clean water, undermining of all that, then carefully dry a surface.

Of an aerosol the barrel sprinkles the prosecuted surface, having covered it of a fine layer of the light escorvador that will help to reveal all the mistakes done in the course of the grinding. The defects found then are removed by a repeated zashpaklevyvaniye. Repeat a stage of grinding. Keep on acting in the same way until it carries out the necessary form and the smoothness of the restored siege of the list. In the conclusion they do not forget of rinsing the list with the clean water and drying it.

Now it is possible to pass to the coloration. The work with an aerógrafo has to be executed on motionless air in the shoal, hot one and not covered in dust room. One forces of circumstances to execute to color in the open air, there is necessary it takes the choice seriously of convenient conditions of the time. During the work at home, the blow powder, having sprinkled a water of floor. If it colors only of certain siege of a body if it does, cover the surrounding intact lists of old newspapers, having fixed them for an adhesive paper strip. Such elements of the finish as of the decorative strips chromeplated, door doorknobs, revetment of lighthouses of block, etc., in a stage of the coloration of healthy him more improve to withdraw of the body list.

When it uses the paintings handed in the form of aerosols carefully lift a barrel, soon it sprinkles a surface of proof, carrying out the technology of the coloration. Cover the surface prepared to color with a powerful layer of the escorvador. The thickness of a covering has to be got due to the repetition of putting the painting for fine layers. 400 does not feel sorry for the water, bet to surface prepared a paper of emery of fine granulation n °. Before putting decorative painting they leave the escorvador to us it dries up completely.

Begin to show up with fine layers in the established superficial decorative painting. Begin to color of the center of the restored siege, doing a hand with an aerosol barrel / aerógrafo the circular movements, in a spiral that spreads his ray out and not for until the whole siege prepared with a superposition in three five centimeters is not covered of a layer of fresh painting. Then 10÷15 minutes (not it must not damage better then the edge of the painting that begins to dry) after drawing the last layer an insulating tape they do not prick the covering surrounding lists of a body and withdraw newspapers.

The final painting polymerism happens after approximately two weeks then from the aplainação of the transition of the fresh painting to an old man, rub the surface restored with the fine briefcase of polishing. In the conclusion they prosecute the wax of list.

Restoration of component plastics

The realization of the repair of the component ones of plastic of explosion must be accused to experts. It uses the forest machine of pine for a protachivaniye along a slit of a flute that then the plastic nucleus of the same thing as plastic, like the repaired detail guards inside é the base of the technology. The new halves of the list of explosion accustom to the drink one with other through the special hairdryer. The plastic excess retires grinding.

The least serious damages can be removed with force itself of the amateur mechanic by the defect that is filled of a compound of epóxi of 2 component (the technology it is similar applied in a shpaklevaniye of the damaged sieges of metal lists of body).

Substituting of the component damaged plastic it is necessary to take care of the selection of the convenient replaceable list in the color. To color of the details done from the plastic it is necessary to use special paintings and the escorvadores, – they ask in shops of motor accessories and strictly they follow manufacturers' educations.
