Extend the life of the car, reduce the cost of itmaintenance allows for timely body repair. "Gazelles", like any other small vehicles, more often than others need to restore the body.
Typical types of damage
Usually body repair "Gazelle" includesmeasures to restore the integrity of plastic and steel elements, as well as components made from various alloys of aluminum and other metals. Each item is subject to certain problems, the most common of which are the following:
- violation of the integrity of the paint coating - cracking, peeling, the development of corrosion - is characteristic of metal elements;
- the formation of cracks, breaks is peculiar to plastic components, since they have less ductility than steel parts;
- the appearance of dents with chipping, cracking paintwork pursues metal structures, but this problem may also be disturbed by polymeric materials.
The characteristic problem of light-duty vehiclesis a violation of geometry. The displacement of the axes, the formation of cracks in the frame - not every center that produces body repair "Gazelle" can eliminate such problems. In some cases it is cheaper to “hand over” a car for scrap than to restore it.
Redecorating
Under the cosmetic repair often understandrestoration of a paint and varnish covering. This is necessary not only to return the car to its original and attractive appearance, but also to protect it from corrosion. Water leaking into small cracks becomes the main cause of rust formation. If the scratches or chips are completely “fresh”, then they do without machining the body. Very often in such cases, perform body repair "Gazelle" with their own hands. To do this, the damaged surface is treated with a solvent. Then a layer of primer and paint is applied. Each "new" layer is applied after complete drying of the previous one.
If traces were observed at the site of damagecorrosion, it is necessary to apply to the service station, because it requires the removal of corrosion centers by mechanical means. It is best if sanding abrasive treatment is applied.
Recovery of hard to reach places
Factory protective coating of the bottom of the caroften becomes micro-damaged, loses its properties, because of which the metal becomes completely defenseless. In this case, body repair "Gazelle" is the application of bitumen mastic with pre-treatment of the possible development of corrosion abrasive installations.
Other most vulnerable and at the same timeexperts consider hard-to-reach places the internal surfaces of the side members, sills and door niches. In these places, corrosion develops due to a rare and permissive inspection by drivers. In this case, minor damage is also eliminated by thick mastic and special compositions, for example "Movil".
Body repair
Directly body repair "Gazelle Next",for example, is performed to remove dents and more serious defects. The restoration of the elements of the car is beneficial only in cases where it is assumed a small scope of work. In other situations it is better to replace the damaged item.
To eliminate dents today applyprogressive technology. In particular, they use hydraulic “exhausters”, which literally stretch a dent, returning the original appearance to the car. To eliminate chipping and breaking of plastic elements, body repair of the Gazelle Next is performed using special soldering irons, thermal pistols and hair dryers.
