Panel Beater Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I’ve spent the last eight years hands on with panels and paint, keeping vehicles on the road and looking solid. In my last role I worked on up to 60 jobs a month, focusing on dent removal, straightening, and fitting repaired panels. I know the heat, noise and dust of a panel shop, and I keep a steady pace while maintaining safety and accuracy. I’m comfortable with metal and fibreglass repairs, plastic filler work, and the sequence from dent out to spray finish. I have practical experience using welding equipment and hydraulic lifts, fitting door trims and body hardware, and aligning panels for a tidy panel gap. I’m keen to bring strong attention to detail and practical problem solving to [Company Name]. A good example from my time at [Previous Company] shows how I handle real world pressure. We had a large fleet collision job with several vehicles needing door skin replacement and door lock refitting. I coordinated the panel straightening, cut and join with welding, and refitting of hardware, then supervised the spray prep. The result was a clean finish and a reliable alignment that held up under road testing. I’m available to chat about how I can contribute to your shop and keep projects moving. I’m happy to discuss timing, equipment, and any on site procedures at your convenience. Kind regards, [Your Name]
