Why can't the side skirts be sheet metal? How to pull out the recessed side skirts?

Recently, many users have discussed why sheet metal repair is not recommended for side skirt depressions. There are various opinions among them. There is a more common saying: the cost of repairing the side skirts is too high, the side skirts are not repaired under the door, and even if the repairs are not as perfect as before, what should we do in the face of such problems? 

It is not that the side skirts cannot be sheet metal, but the big bottom edge of the side of the car cannot be sheet metal because the metal of the big bottom edge is very hard, and the difficulty of sheet metal is very serious.

The side skirt is a decorative piece, which is plastic, and car enthusiasts should separate the side skirt from the bottom big side area.

The bottom edge of the car belongs to the car's structural parts, and the bottom edge can protect the members of the car in case of a side collision.

The metal used in the bottom edge is very hard, and if the bottom edge is deformed, it isn't easy to repair the sheet metal.

That's why general organizations will not do sheet metal for the bottom edge.

The bottom edge is in the middle of the body and is relatively close to the ground, so this part is very easy to cut. Car enthusiasts need to pay careful attention to the normal use of the car.

In some steep ramps, the bottom edge is very easy to be cut.

Most of the car's bottom edge is a particle rubber, which can prevent the bottom edge from being cut.

If the bottom edge is severely cut, the granular rubber is broken, and the broken granular rubber should be repaired in time. Otherwise, it will cause the bottom edge to rust.

If the big bottom side is rusted, it is not good to repair.

In the usual driving, repair the broken granular rubber if the chassis is cut. Otherwise, it will lead to rust chassis.

How do I pull out a side skirt dent?

A sheet metal machine can pull out a car side skirt dent.

Steps to repair car side skirt dent:

First, you need to pull out the dent and shape the side skirt. After the shaping is completed, sanding, putty on the side skirt, grinding the side skirt, spraying granular rubber, and finally spraying paint. Note that the paint must be even when spraying.

Generally, dealing with dents is handled by the sheet metal correction method, which in theory does not cause much harm to the car. However, as long as the car structure is deformed, it is not as strong as its original.

The cost of repairing the side skirt is not very high, but it depends on the degree of denting. If the dent is very obvious, it is recommended to ask professional and technical personnel to repair or replace the side skirt directly.

Generally, some technicians will cut the skirt directly if the dent is serious. I suggest that it is best not to cut and repair from the inside. If the repair is difficult, it is recommended that the owner directly replace the skirt.

Repair painting needs to paint the whole skirt. If only partial painting, the skirt color will appear color difference.
