Can A Panel Beater Put Body Lines Back In?

[Tyral]

Hey guys, just noticed that my S13's body lines have been shaved - and it's starting to annoy me.

The cars going in for a paint in the coming weeks and I was wondering if it's possible to have the lines put back in by a panel beater?

The only other way I can think of getting them back is replacing the front fenders, doors and getting a widebody rear.

It's either that or a new shell (not sure if the lines mean THAT much to me haha).

Cheers for your help guys.

Depends how they were removed, they might just be bogged if so easy enough you'll just need a fair bit of labour and a you should get a good result. I can't see why they'd be beaten out unless after some sort accident damage (would stretch the panels).

Strip back a section and have a look.

Recently a friends ferrari had some damage fixed under insurance, while he was getting the work done he decided to paint the whole car. Before he got the car worked on for prep he didn't notice any lines at all in the rear of the body and sides but after the paint was all stripped off the lines appeared, i think the panel beater did minimal work to make them stand out but not much at all so it may just be to many paint jobs not correctly prepped and just slapped 1 over the other? Not a sprayer but thats just my 2c

Thanks guys! I'm pretty confident now it's what FLUID said, because the paint job is super-shit, cheers for this guys!
