Repair, refinish, and restore vehicle bodies to showroom condition
Auto body technicians repair collision damage, dents, and surface imperfections on vehicles. They use body filler, welding, painting, and refinishing techniques to restore cars to pre-accident condition.
Assess a collision-damaged sedan at 8 AM, pull dents and apply body filler by mid-morning, block sand and prime after lunch, then spray basecoat and clear coat in the booth. End the day wet sanding and buffing for a flawless finish.
