PANEL BEATING INFORMATION:
A panel beater is a term used in Commonwealth countries to describe a person who
repairs vehicle bodies back to their factory state after having been damaged
(e.g., after being involved in a collision). In the USA the same job is done by
an auto body mechanic. They do this using many skills such as planishing as well
as various other metalworking techniques, welding, use of putty fillers, and
many more. Accident repair may require the panel beater to either repair or
replace BUMPER, SIDE SKIRTS, CAR SPOILER, CAR WING, BOOT, TAILGATE BONNET, CAR
DOOR, and in many cases both, various parts of a vehicle. These parts may be
made from various metals including various steels and alloys, many different
plastics, fibreglass and others.
The common panel beater will work on everyday vehicles, cars, vans, 4WDs for
example. Specialised areas include repairs to motorcycles, trucks and even
aircraft. Some panel beaters also work exclusively on vehicle restorations, and
do not repair smash work at all. Others may specialise in body customisation
such as is seen on hot rods etc.
Training to become a panel beater is done by completing a trade
apprenticeship.[2] For the most part these apprenticeships are around four years
long, but can be completed earlier. These usually consist of three years on the
job training mixed with schooling at a trade school or TAFE. The fourth year is
usually on the job training alone.
