A Guide to Repairing Minor Bodywork Damage

Model: Nissan Qashqai J10 - Years 2006-2014
Part: Body

The video shows the procedure to follow for repairing minor bodywork damage. As you can see, it is essentially a purely manual operation where only experience can teach you.
Most of the work involves straightening the bodywork and possibly the frame in the dented area, with plenty of patience and attention until you achieve a result that minimises the need for body filler. After applying the filler, proceed to the final painting, blending in the case of metallic colours.

The operation is performed on a Nissan Qashqai but is essentially universal.
