7 Steps We Take to Ensure Every Body Panel Repair Is Flawless

Behind the scenes of our perfection-driven bodywork process.

Introduction

A dented or damaged body panel can drastically affect your car’s appearance—and if not fixed properly, its value and safety. At Aida Auto Sale Ltd., Body Panel Repair isn’t just a quick fix. It’s a precise, multi-step process that ensures your vehicle not only looks perfect, but is structurally sound too.

In this blog, we’re pulling back the curtain to show you the 7 essential steps our skilled technicians follow to deliver results that are showroom-ready.

1. Comprehensive Damage Assessment

Every flawless repair begins with a complete assessment. We inspect the vehicle visually and digitally to understand:

Type of damage (dent, crack, corrosion, collision)
Location and depth
Underlying frame or structural damage
Paint condition and panel alignment

This helps us create a personalized repair plan and ensures that even hidden damage is addressed.

2. Precision Disassembly and Panel Prep

We carefully remove any parts needed to access and isolate the damaged panel—this can include:

Trim
Molding
Headlights or taillights
Adjacent panels

This protects undamaged areas and allows for seamless integration later.

Next, we clean and prep the panel to remove dirt, wax, and rust to ensure a strong bond for filler or paint.

3. Metalwork and Dent Repair

Depending on the damage, we use tools like:

Dent pullers
Hammer and dolly sets
Spot welders for panel reshaping
Heat guns and shrinking methods for metal memory

If the panel is too damaged to repair, we replace it with OEM or certified aftermarket parts, ensuring factory-spec fit and finish.

4. Filler Application and Surface Leveling

For deeper scratches, minor dents, or weld seams, we use high-quality body filler to restore perfect contour. The key is not to overuse it—we build up, level down, and refine.

We sand with varying grits until the surface is:

Smooth to the touch
Perfectly contoured
Free from imperfections

5. Seamless Paint Matching and Application

Painting is where the magic happens—but only if done right. At Aida Auto, we:

Use digital color-matching systems
Apply multiple base and clear coats
Cure using infrared or heated booths

This ensures a flawless color match, high durability, and a finish that blends perfectly with the rest of the vehicle.

6. Reassembly and Quality Control

7. Polishing and Final Touches

To ensure that showroom finish, we polish and buff the repaired area using high-end compounds. This removes:

Dust nibs
Overspray
Minor imperfections

We finish with a wax sealant to protect the surface and add that new-car shine.
