Dents and Scratches

There are many types of body fillers available. Dentmaster wales also sell a body repair kit that contains the paste and a tube of resin hardener which I highly recommend for this job. Mix the filler as recommended by the manufacturer, and apply it to the damaged area with the plastic applicator supplied in the repair kit. After the filler is completely hardened, remove the excess with a body file. By using progressively finer grades of sandpaper, starting with 180 grit, and finishing with around 800 grit wet or dry paper, a flat surface achieved. Wet or dry sandpaper should be rinsed in water periodically. This will help you achieve a very smooth finish that is desired in the final stage of this repair. The area that you have repaired should now be surrounded by a ring of bare metal, which should be surrounded by a finely feathered edge of good paint.
