Fixing Body Parts
Fixing body parts in Car Mechanic Simulator 2015 is a crucial skill. You’ll need to replace damaged parts, repair dents, and ensure a smooth finish for a perfect restoration.
Doors
Doors are one of the most common body parts to get damaged in Car Mechanic Simulator 2015. They can get dented, scratched, or even completely ripped off. Fortunately, fixing doors is a relatively straightforward process. Here’s how⁚
- Remove the door⁚ The first step is to remove the door from the car. This can be done by loosening the bolts that attach the door to the hinges. Once the bolts are loose, you can gently pull the door off the car.
- Repair the damage⁚ Once the door is off the car, you can start repairing the damage. If the door is dented, you can use a hammer and dolly to gently push the dent out. If the door is scratched, you can use sandpaper to smooth out the scratches. If the door is completely ripped off, you’ll need to replace it with a new one.
- Reinstall the door⁚ Once the door is repaired, you can reinstall it on the car. Make sure to tighten the bolts that attach the door to the hinges. You may need to adjust the door’s position so that it closes properly.
- Test the door⁚ Once the door is reinstalled, test it to make sure it opens and closes smoothly. If it doesn’t, you may need to adjust the door’s position or tighten the bolts.
If you’re having trouble fixing a door, you can always consult the game’s manual or online forums for help. There are also plenty of tutorials available online that can walk you through the process of fixing a door.
Bumpers
Bumpers are another common casualty in the world of Car Mechanic Simulator 2015. They take the brunt of minor collisions, leaving them dented, scratched, or even cracked. Luckily, fixing bumpers is a fairly manageable task. Here’s a step-by-step guide⁚
- Remove the bumper⁚ First, you’ll need to remove the bumper from the car. This involves loosening the bolts that attach the bumper to the car’s frame. You may also need to disconnect the wiring for the bumper’s lights or sensors. Consult your car’s service manual for specific instructions.
- Assess the damage⁚ Once the bumper is off, carefully examine the damage. Dents can often be hammered out with a rubber mallet or dolly. Scratches can be sanded down and repainted. Cracks, however, may require more involved repairs, including welding or replacing the bumper entirely.
- Repair the damage⁚ For dents, use a combination of a hammer and dolly to gently push the dent back into shape. For scratches, use sandpaper to smooth out the rough edges, then apply primer and paint. For cracks, you may need to use a fiberglass repair kit or consult a professional mechanic.
- Reinstall the bumper⁚ Once the repairs are complete, reattach the bumper to the car using the bolts you removed earlier. Make sure the bumper is securely attached and aligned properly. Reconnect any wiring for lights or sensors.
- Test the bumper⁚ Finally, test the bumper to ensure it is securely fastened and doesn’t wobble or rattle. Make sure the lights and sensors are working properly.

Painting
After you’ve repaired the body parts of your car, the next step is to give it a fresh coat of paint. This will not only restore the car’s appearance but also protect the metal from the elements. Here’s a step-by-step guide to painting your car in Car Mechanic Simulator 2015⁚
- Preparation⁚ Before you start painting, it’s crucial to prepare the surface. Begin by washing the car thoroughly to remove dirt and debris. Next, use sandpaper to smooth out any rough edges or imperfections. Apply masking tape to protect areas you don’t want to paint, such as windows, trim, and headlights.
- Primer⁚ Apply a primer to the surface to create a smooth, even base for the paint to adhere to. Allow the primer to dry completely before proceeding.
- Paint⁚ Now it’s time to apply the paint. Use a spray gun for a professional finish; Apply thin, even coats, allowing each coat to dry completely before applying the next. Multiple thin coats are better than one thick coat, as it prevents runs and sags.
- Clear Coat⁚ After the paint has dried, apply a clear coat to protect the paint from scratches and UV damage. Apply several thin coats of clear coat, allowing each coat to dry completely before applying the next.
- Final Touches⁚ Once the clear coat has dried, remove the masking tape and enjoy your freshly painted car! You can also add decals or other decorative elements to personalize your car.
Remember, painting is a skill that takes practice. Don’t be discouraged if your first attempts aren’t perfect. With patience and practice, you’ll be able to achieve professional-looking results.
