Automotive bodywork refers to the outer shell of a vehicle, which includes panels, frames, and other components that protect the internal parts and provide structural integrity. This area is crucial for both safety and aesthetics, as it influences the car's appearance and performance. Common materials used in bodywork include steel, aluminum, and plastic. Repairing automotive bodywork often involves fixing dents, scratches, and rust damage. Techniques such as paintless dent repair and body filler application are commonly used to restore the vehicle's original look. Proper bodywork ensures that vehicles remain safe and visually appealing over time.
