Additional Information About the Service
The rocker panels of a vehicle often suffer from dirt, water, and salt, especially during the cold season. This leads to rust and paint damage. Our goal is to restore the rocker panels to a protective and attractive state so they last long and do not spoil the appearance of the car.
Preparation and Diagnosis
Before we start working, we carefully inspect the rocker panels. If there are old cracks or rust, we gently remove the damaged areas. Sometimes the rocker panels are removed from the vehicle, which allows for better surface preparation. However, if removal is not possible, we perform the work directly on the car, using special methods to ensure the paint applies evenly.
The Painting Process and Protection
After cleaning, the old paint is removed from the rocker panels, and the surface is degreased. Then, a primer is applied - it helps the paint adhere better and protects the metal from corrosion. After that, we apply the paint in the desired shade and cover it with clear lacquer. This gives the surface a shine and protects it from external influences.
Repair or Replacement of Rocker Panels
If the rocker panel is severely damaged by rust or has sustained serious mechanical damage, it is better to replace it. This is more reliable and safe, as rocker panels are often part of the vehicle's structural framework. In such cases, we carefully remove the damaged part, install a new one, and paint it thoroughly to ensure everything looks factory fresh. We always recommend checking the dimensions of the new rocker panel to ensure a smooth installation.
