8.2.12.3. Repair of through corrosion damages and holes

By means of a grinding disk or the wire nozzle, clamped in an electrodrill cartridge, remove all traces of paint from the damaged area and on a site in width about 3 cm round it. In case of lack of possibility of use of an electrodrill work can be executed not less effectively manually by an emery paper.

After removal of paint it is possible to estimate a metal damage rate corrosion and to define, whether has sense to start repair or it will be more reasonable to replace the panel entirely (if it in principle is possible). New panels can be got not so expensively as many motorists consider. Often it appears much quicker and even to establish the new panel more economically, than to make repair of extensive damages of a body.

Remove from the damaged panel all elements of furnish of a body, except for what can serve as a reference point for a reconstruction of an original form of the deformed sites (such as facing of block headlights, etc.). By means of scissors on metal or a nozhovochny cloth remove everything sites of metal freely dangling, poorly fixed and hopelessly damaged by corrosion. Then unbend a hammer of edge of an opening inside for formation of deepening which will be filled with a shpaklevochny material.

By means of a metal brush remove from the damaged metal a poroshkoobrazny rust. If there is an access to a reverse side of the damaged site, process it corrosion inhibitor.

Before the shpaklevaniye beginning the opening is necessary for muffling. It can be made приклепав or having tightened to the damaged site from its reverse side a piece of a tin or having blocked an opening a wire grid.

After the opening will be closed, the damaged site can be puttied and painted.
