Fixing An Audi Quarter Panel!

Episode #384
On this episode I'm repairing a messed up quarter panel on an Audi!

[@dianeruiz0721]

Boy, you do such a nice work! Seriously, no exaggeration. You make it look perfect just like new!!! you’re an artist my friend. God bless you

[@autobodyadvocate6076]

I've never seen a bodyman draw a style like on the car with a pencil before. Neat trick.

[@trulygifted6301]

It’s and old school method to recreate body line that was lost but Attention to detail is key

[@EtienneSalvant]

What is the name of the tool used to help get that line? It's not a compass? Any links to some of the tools used here?

[@rrpinsanfrancisco8598]

Very informative video. I always appreciate the craftsmanship!

[@bunabuna9287]

That is class mate!!!! Well done 👏

[@dasrusse1030]

A man gotta admit that his skills are unbelievable

[@BlueCollarKyle]

Thank you!

[@Speakinthatruthable]

Great videos, man! I'm an estimator so actually being able to see how the repairs are done helps me tremendously.

[@FrankieTheTech]

Don’t write caca initials and learn this too. Not many good writers but the few out there are loved. I’ll buy a good writer a burrito lol

[@JoelGarciaJaquez]

This is an art, not everyone can do this..

[@alexpearson8538]

Excellent use of the MoClamp 0800 tac'n'pull with 0803 pull plate!

[@DIYCustoms]

I like that body line tool. Dang I wish I had that during one of my quarter panel repairs. Masking tape did help recreating that body line

[@sillyboy32]

Wow. Some pit a decent dent in my Audi RS6 rear drivers 1/4 panel. Not as bad as this. Hoping they can fix vs replace the whole panel.

[@davidwebb8877]

Top job mate,greetings from Liverpool uk.

[@llewellyn56]

excellent work......great video....

[@steveguest8028]

Great video/repair 👍

[@meticulousdetail5140]

do you use etching primer or guide coat? Thanks

[@MieleTouchtronic]

Nice work :-)

[@fixx9839]

i have about 8inch scratch , and a dent about 0.3 inch the dent scratch have reach the bare metal. should i epoxy primer first or just put body on top of it??

[@JuanAguilar_DonJuan]

Have youn tried using a compass for the fender line?

[@h1tm4n26]

how much would a job like that cost me to get done? i have a very similar job i need done on my car

[@CoupeVD]

You should replace that panel..That'll never be the same.

[@dannyr333]

Didn’t believe u were able to make that quater panel come to looking new again. Alotta times just swap the whole panel but since it pulled back and idk maybe cost is less Idk maybe the work would be the same from detaching the q panel and install new one vs the jobber I’m watching now just pulling it out and finessing it with many bondo coats Regardless this is an art it takes much patience perserverence and confidence to start a job and believe it’s gonna look spiff when it’s done Gr8 vid Gr8 werk I’m out😊

[@JSCRILLA253]

Done right!✅️ 🔥🔥🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@976charlie9]

What are you sanding the glaze with?

[@jamesbalsai8752]

Kyle please advise if this Audi had an aluminum quarter panel. Would be interested in seeing you repair aluminum panel damage Thanks

[@FelizCuts]

Nice work.. how many hours were allowed on this

[@Tyani-sz6cg]

Skills 👌

[@leejustice1384]

Buy a shrinking wheel you will love it.

[@gentiandauti7970]

how much for something like that?

[@EtienneSalvant]

What was the tape used on the wheel arches? That looked beautiful.

[@EtienneSalvant]

Looked like imple masking tape. But at first looked so different. Lol

[@7ZurdoOfficial]

Hi what body filler do you use (yellow) and then the blue stuff you put after ! Thanks

[@JuanRamirez-xo1fq]

That yellow body filler looks like 3M and the blue stuff is Called glaze putty.

[@knightshift268]

Round how much would this cost for a Chevy/GMC SUV?

[@DaRkmatter5.8]

What tool are you using 2:15

[@jamesbalsai8752]

Looks like a steel panel in this case not an aluminum panel.

[@Adrian34]

will insurance count this as totaled?

[@megaman4201]

No

[@joemyers8456]

why you don't use tin instead of bondo?

[@bonyembombardieru6831]

What state are you in?

[@mostafaalaiwat7773]

why do you use the tape while sanding

[@BlueCollarKyle]

the tape helps make the body lines in certain situations

[@umairiqbal159]

How much does it cost typically to repair something like that

[@anthonya6693]

My guess is around $2000 for just the repair prep and body would be more

[@hamedisaac6442]

Great job What is the name of this frame machine?

[@SuperMat1975]

Quick42 by Car-O-Liner

[@hamedisaac6442]

Thank you

[@rudyjhughes]

Which primer you using?

[@trulygifted6301]

Sherwin Williams SpectraPrime P30

[@zippythechicken]

@@trulygifted6301 I would like to know the difference between that spectra primer and the Acme Finish 1 primer which is also by sherwin williams they are both urethane primer surfacers... i bet they are the same or close but the spectra is $125 more per gallon

[@trulygifted6301]

Zippy TheChicken one is budget line other is premier line, better quality (resins) cost more, just that simple, doesn’t mean it’s always better though. Insurance jobs usually pay so cost is justified to spend 125/gallon, while Budget jobs not so much. I have used Acme1 and had no issues but there is some shrinkage, and film build might be lower. I personally though don’t use sherwin Williams anything unless customer brings it. If your looking for good middle-game products, Upol hasn’t let me down and neither has Roberlo especially their HS Clears. I do about 15 rebuilders a month so I need consistent results at right price to have car on road for at least 5 years no issues.

[@zippythechicken]

@@trulygifted6301 yes that is one thing i am not happy with shrinkage... I did a car with a brand i won't mention but it was inexpensive... i had cracking so bad from shrinkage after about 2 years it looks like the clear is crystalizing and falling off the car. ok it was fricken 5star which people seem to like but .. i put about 3 full wet coats of clear... also used 5star primer... not sure what i used for base.. probably ppg... not sure the guy i did it for even waxed the car but the stuff is turning into little crystals and flaking off... I am going to end up doing it again but not for free its been too long but ... idk .. its hard to get decent stuff now unless you want to pay $300 a gallon...

[@Dean-gq3wf]

How long do you have to wait before sanding using the spectra primer? It still looks wet while he is sanding.

[@kevovq3727]

Why u did not replace quarter panel like allways?????

[@pumcarrillo6065]

I think 13h repair 3 h pull 3h on wheel house just on the panel our rate is 44 $h 19h x44$ = $$$ but check your location for shop rates , the rate are different where you live , tec can make from 17$ to 26$ a hour on his pay check , 19 x his pay rate , this is just to repair the 1/4 panel he bid a lot more he remove a lot of the in side seats and ever thing ecl .... that all add on + part +paint =$$$$ There body tec and paint, and combo tec = a body tec that paints , they have it more hard , they fix it and paint it so they have to be good at many thing , , Two thing to note , it nice to do mud work on the car-line but that 140.k , and there chances the bond that hold the panel to wheel house came lose , and you would not think it make a sound , but with today car it could , seen it , , , but that a very good repair and 100% respect for tec

[@DannyPablooo]

Would never repair my car like this, would cut and weld. That’s just me.

[@cosminbanciu7958]

It will be awesome and very helpfull if you can write on the video what tool are you using or what grit for sandpaper. Great job, i enjoy your videos and posts on Instagram.

[@gokur.n.5989]

You can find it on amazon its called “Body line tool”

[@as680783]

@@gokur.n.5989 Thanks for this. Just what I was looking for!

[@blessethishe]

Makes one wounder if its best to just replace the panel itself and have it painted. Instead of this. Im assuming the price is just about the same. Labour to scuplt it is shown in the video or labour to just unattach the damage panel and replace with new one.

[@megaman4201]

Cost is much more to replace the panel, more labor and parts.
