Exterior body panels are constructed of various
materials, due to the increased dent and corrosion
resistance of modern composites. All vertical panels,
such as fenders, doors, quarters, and rocker
panels, are made from rigid thermoplastic. Front and
rear fascias are constructed of thermoplastic
olefin (TPO). The hood, roof, and deck are steel.
Different materials require different procedures
for preparing and refinishing. Before beginning any
repair, identify the type of material involved.
