A couple of years ago my 2 year old Pathfinder got caught in a hailstorm which caused $16000 dollars worth of damage. The repairs involved replacing most of the panels including the roof. Although the roof was available there was a process to seal the joint on the roof which hadn't been done in Australia before. In the end the insurance company decided to sent it to a paintless dent remover. The roof with the hail dents made a golf ball look smooth. When it was returned the job was impressive, I could not see one dent or ripple at all. Even the panel beater was impressed. They also remove the dents in the doors. But the important part of the the job was all the repair panels where painted along with the new ones which I was happy about. The reasons the panel beater told me for painting the repaired panels was for colour catching and like in previous posting, to ensure any micro cracking of the paint was sealed.
