How to read the gallery

Damage tells only the beginning of the repair story

A finished surface depends on the work underneath it. These photos show different stages, including damaged bumper covers, surface preparation, masking, refinishing, reassembly, and completed exterior repairs.

Before

Visible damage establishes the starting point. A complete estimate still depends on inspection because hidden damage may not appear in a photograph.

Process

Preparation may include removing components, repairing the surface, sanding, masking, priming, and preparing the repair area for finish work.

After

The completed view shows the repaired shape, assembled exterior, panel appearance, and finish after the authorized work is performed.

Collision repair sequence

Textured bumper restoration

White Jeep rear bumper

Textured unpainted bumper material requires a different finish approach than a painted panel. This sequence shows abrasions before repair, masking and coating work, and the restored bumper after the process.

Bodywork and refinishing across different repair types

These images show panel preparation and refinishing stages rather than unrelated stock imagery. Each repair still begins with an assessment of the actual vehicle.
