Body repair and painting of Foton trucks

The car body is a complex and multifunctional structure, subject to wear and mechanical damage and from time to time in need of professional repair. Conventionally, body repair is divided into diagnostics of body geometry, restoration of frame and cabin geometry, application of paint and protective coatings.

At the service center, body repairs of Foton, Hyundai and other cars are performed at the highest level. At the same time, close attention is paid to restoring the rigidity and geometry of the lower part of the body, usually hidden from the eyes of an outside observer. It is the lower body elements that are responsible for the driving characteristics of the vehicle and driving safety, since all the suspension elements of the car are attached to them.

Maintenance card

In order for a Foton car to serve its entire operational life without breakdowns, it is necessary to carry out scheduled maintenance in accordance with the manufacturer’s map (regulations). If your new car is under warranty, then all maintenance must be performed exclusively at a dealer service in compliance with all manufacturer requirements. In our company you can undergo scheduled maintenance of a Foton car, regardless of the brand and current mileage.

Scheduled maintenance must be carried out after a certain vehicle mileage interval. A deviation of no more than 1,000 km is allowed, both in one direction and the other. During maintenance, our technicians check the performance of all systems, diagnose components and mechanisms, and inspect body parts. Consumables and technical fluids are also replaced in accordance with the manufacturer’s regulations (map). Timely replacement of consumables allows you to extend the service life of important units and also ensures their normal operation.

In accordance with the maintenance card, the first maintenance is carried out after 2000 km. Further, according to the plan, Foton cars must undergo maintenance every 10,000 km. During each of these maintenance services, the engine oil and oil filter must be changed. The gearbox oil is changed once every 50,000 km. Clutch and brake fluids are replaced at approximately the same frequency. Power steering fluid, rear axle oil, alternator drive belts, timing belt are changed in accordance with the maintenance card for a specific Foton model.

During each scheduled maintenance, our service center specialists are required to lubricate all suspension components, linkage joints, steering knuckles, wheel bearings, brake levers and other elements. Using modern equipment, the operation of the engine and gearbox is diagnosed, the running engine, rear gearbox, and driveshaft are checked for noise. The condition of the seals in the units is also checked for leaks.

Without fail, specialists check the tension of the timing belt and drive belts, measure the oil level in the gearbox, rear axle and transfer case. If the level drops significantly, more in-depth diagnostic work is carried out, the causes are determined and eliminated. The technicians also look at the coolant level in the engines and check its density.

Full painting in several stages

  • We inspect my car in detail
    and identify defects. We remove optics, bumpers, handles and other parts.
  • We straighten
    the damaged elements, restore the geometry,, if necessary, perform welding work, and putty the dents.
  • We select the shade of car enamel
    taking into account the personal preferences of the car owner. We degrease the painted surfaces with special products.
  • We prime in several layers
    . The primer hides the transitions between putty and old paint, prevents corrosion, and ensures high adhesion.
  • We paint the car in the paint booth
    , observing the drying temperature conditions, in almost sterile conditions.
  • We polish the body
    with special pastes.

Preparatory procedures, how to paint correctly

If you decide to carry out all the repair work on your own, then you should do everything as soon as possible. Once you discover damage, do not delay the process, as the problem may get worse.

Once the scratch reaches the metal, the oxidation process begins, leading to rust and corrosion. Because of these defects, more serious work will be required.

Before painting, the car is cleaned using conventional detergents. You need to wait until the surface is dry and then degrease it.

For this, special wipes and solvent are used. After saturating one napkin with it, wipe the surface dry with the second. To ensure greater comfort, you need to remove the part that will be worked on.

All other areas of the body that cannot be painted are covered with protective film and masking tape.

To prevent painting defects from appearing, a special chamber is needed; the room must be completely clean of dust and other contaminants. Lights, like devices, should be directed toward the work surface to avoid glare.

Work should not be carried out outdoors, as exposure to sunlight will negatively affect the result. At high temperatures outside, only the first layer is subject to drying out; it will take longer to wait for complete drying.

Therefore, before applying a new layer, wait until the previous one dries.

Before spraying the can, you should shake it well. Try not to go overboard and cover up the rest of the components.

If you are not sure of the result, then you can try your hand at an old part that you have.

Don't forget to follow the existing instructions and stock up on the following tools:

  • paint,
  • sandpaper of different levels,
  • putty and primer,
  • antisilicon,
  • polyethylene,
  • masking tape,
  • elements for protection.

When doing all the work yourself, be sure to consider hand protection; use a rubber or silicone spatula so as not to cause unnecessary damage to the surface.

The work of the aerosol begins only after the primer has been applied, dried and polished.
