A panel beater is a term used in some Commonwealth
countries to describe a person who repairs vehicle bodies back to
their factory state after having been damaged (e.g., after being
involved in a collision).
In the USA the same job is done by an auto body mechanic.
They do this using many skills such as
planishing as
well as various other metalworking techniques, welding, use of putty
fillers, and many more.
Accident repair may require the panel beater to either repair or
replace, and in many cases both, various parts of a vehicle. These
parts may be made from various metals including various steels and
alloys, many different plastics, fibreglass and others.
