Motor Vehicle Body Repairer
Job Descriptions |
||||||
| Motor vehicle body repairers fix or replace accident-damaged
parts on light vehicles – cars, small vans and motorcycles;
and heavy vehicles – Lorries, construction plant, buses and
coaches. Vehicle body repairers may also fix or replace cracked
windscreens and glass. At the end of a job, they refinish the bodywork
to make the vehicle appear as good as new. When a vehicle comes in, your first task is to assess the extent of the damage and the best way to do the repairs. Once you have done this, you set about the repair job, which could include some or all of the following duties: · removing damaged panels or parts to repair at a workbench · smoothing out minor dents in panels with a ‘dolly’ hammer and other tools · filling small holes or rusted areas with resin, body solder and other compound fillers · fitting new panels where the damage is too great for repair · Custom building body panels from sheet metal before welding them in place. After you have fixed the damaged parts, you would refinish the surfaces. You would do this by: · removing old paintwork, sealant and rust, using a wire wheel attached to a drill or grinder · cleaning the repair area and masking off other parts to be left alone · priming and paint spraying the area, using the manufacturer instructions on colour matches
