Relevant to technicians of all experience levels, BETAG’s Medium Panel Repair program focuses on the core principles of straightening steel auto body panels, to a level of finish that requires minimal filler to complete a high-quality repair.

These skills can be applied across a wide range of simple and more complex panel repairs, including damage to the edge of a panel or through a body line.

This benefits the technician by enabling them to: complete repairs more quickly (to a similar or higher quality standard); repair some panels that would previously have been replaced; and significantly reduce the refinish area on all types of damages to save time, cost of materials and improve the overall quality of repair.

Course Objective

Develop technicians’ skills to:

• Quickly and properly assess damage to steel outer panels and plan the repair.
• Efficiently straighten complex outer panel damage to near metal finish quality – including damage thru bodylines; damage involving multiple bodylines; area damage (damage without a bodyline to stabilize the panel); and deep gouges.
