Prepare the bodywork and repaint it
The basics of a car bodywork repair
A bodywork is subject to many factors that can cause more or less serious damage. Among these, there is rust. When the first signs of its appearance appear on any part of the bodywork, it is strongly recommended to take care of it. The procedure requires several steps, appropriate equipment and products.
Apart from removing traces of rust from a bodywork, sandblasting is necessary to remove old paint, clean it and prepare it for repainting it again.
