Having a Car or a Company Van is probably only of the most important essentials in a persons life which is why when you have an accident or your car gets damaged you want to make sure you get the right Company at the right price. Here at After Hours Body Works we will make sure you have a professional job done at an affordable price.
Panel beaters are the ones who are responsible for restoring your Car or Company Van back to its original state after a collision accident or a vandalism accident. This is achieved by undergoing a series of stripping and refitting techniques. They are also responsible for literally ‘beating the hollows or dents of a vehicle’, hence the term “panel beaters.”
When a panel on a car’s body is dented, the metal is stretched out of shape. The process of shrinking and stretching the metal back to its original dimensions requires heat to be applied to the surface and then hammered with a special shaping hammer to re-shape the metal. This technique is used in conjunction with planishing to restore the original dimensions and contours of the panel. Mastering the art of panel beating takes years, an experience which has been mastered by After Hours Body Works. Please have a look at some of the cars and vans that we have previously done work on.
