Adria matrix body (1 Viewer)

[Wingingit#1]

Does anyone know what the body is clad with ? Is it aluminium maybe?
How would i go about any dents out of this ?
Thanks in advance .

I'm sure its a composite panel with an aluminium outer. depending on the size of the dent will determine the level of repair. A full repair i.e. filler etc. or a small dent could be repaired by the mobile guys using suction pads.

If your Adria is white then the 'Comprex' composite wall panel has a polyester outer skin (GRP with white gelcoat).
If it is a silver Supreme model then the Comprex outer skin is painted aluminium.

That's correct and it's very expensive to remove dents. I've had two quotes to remove a dent caused (believe it or not) by a sparrowhawk at full dive speed hitting the back when trying to catch sparrows perched on the rear rail! Traditional panel repair man said, not possible. Plastic mobile repair man quoted £500 with no guarantee of success. So the dent remains.

Would you believe aluminium skin with paint on.

You can't do that on a bonded aluminium panel which the Adrian is.
It pulls the aluminium off of the insulation it's bonded to also aluminium stretches, you can only do that type of repair on steel.

If its a small amount of damage you can fill and spray for large damaged areas they glue a new panel on top of the exsisting one.

Thanks for all replies

Theyre only small so if its awfully involved then they'll be staying .

.....what a donut! I completely misinterpreted that to mean ultra fine aluminium that is applied by spraying it on .....ok i realise how stupid i sound now .

Ours is white and is polyester.
The white option appears to be no longer available.
I always thought polyester was better but when there was a choice of white or silver, the silver was more expensive.

Sounds expensive.
