Oven Baking Panels
Discussion
I'm needing a wing and door resprayed due to some deep scratches.
It's going to be going into a body shop, so I'm wondering if both panels would need to be removed from the car for spraying and baking, or can they be done without removing them from the car?
Can you put a full car into the oven and just bake the damaged area? Is that possible?
Whats the usual procedure?

They don't always use an oven to cure the paint.
How else do they cure the paint? (Genuine question, I'm not being an arse!

What's your concern ??
Cheers!What's your concern ??
I have no real concerns, just wondered what the process is.
I guess I'm sort of not all that "comfortable" with body panels being removed and then put back on again (car is not quite 6 months old, worried about panels not lining up again properly etc. I'm quite anal about my car
)They shouldn't want or need to remove the panels (it's a case of masking where you don't want the paint to go)
And there is every chance that they will paint further than the two damaged panels anyway to 'blend' the colour in, and then go a bit bigger again with the lacquer.
So it could be that both panels either side of the damage get some form of spraying.
If that is the case then really a job of that size should ideally go into an oven, although some repairs (especially smaller repairs)are often baked by using specialist infrared heat lamps that only heat the repaired panels

Thats exactly what I was after, thanks! And there is every chance that they will paint further than the two damaged panels anyway to 'blend' the colour in, and then go a bit bigger again with the lacquer.
