While you could learn how to repair RV body damage on your own, many Gahanna drivers find that the time and effort are rarely worth the results.

What Goes into RV Body Damage Repair?

Let’s say the exterior of your RV has a dent that’s become a bit of an eyesore. You could try to tap it back into place, but then what happens to your paint? You could try to fix the paint with a touch up pen, but what if the surface isn’t smooth? As you can see, DIY repairs aren’t usually as simple as they seem. Here are the steps that we take at Byers Collision Center during our RV body repair services:

  • Cleaning: We scrub away the dirt and debris to ensure that the surface is pristine.
  • Sanding: Then, we sand the surface smooth to prep the area for the next step.
  • Filling: We apply high-quality body filler to the area to conceal the damage. 
  • Smoothing: Once the body filler is dry, we sand the surface yet again to make it level.
  • Painting: We add layers of primer and paint that match your vehicle perfectly.
  • Sealing: If the area of damage is in a moisture-prone area, we add a layer of sealant to prevent leaks.

Another key reason to visit is a professional is for your safety. If your vehicle has suffered damage, it’s important to make sure it’s still structurally sound. Our experts can inspect your RV and bring it back to its fully glory!
