Q:I'm looking for some sheet metal to make auto body patches, do you think this steel would be ideal for such an application?

Answer This Question
A: You can use this steel sheet metal for auto body patches (it will need to be treated as it will rust ) though it is on the thicker side.
by|Nov 22, 2018
A: I believe this sheet metal is too think. It's almost impossible to bend or make a proper cut without using a machine. Hand tools won't do.

A: The metal will be fine for auto sheet metal except for the thickness. 16-gauge is almost 1/16" thick. Most auto sheet metal is not quite this thick. If you do not need a thinner piece, this should be fine.

A: This is heavier than you want for body patches. They have other thinner gauge material that I have used to make body panels, patches, in the past. Look for thinner material but not their thinnest.

A: The sheet I have is 6" x 18"
by|May 6, 2023
A: This is the actual dimensions
by|Sep 24, 2019
A: Not dimensioned like wood. Different material, industry. It is actually as it is described. Wood dimensions are of the wood in rough, as it was cut from trees, before it is milled, planed, smoothed for use. Saw mills pay for the tree, therefore the product is described and sold as cut green/in the rough.

Q:Is it strong enough to bend without warping?
by|May 3, 2018

Answer This Question
A: Strange question.. Bending is warping the shape. If you place the sheet in a vice, clamp, or a straight guides, do slight bends until you get across the width then repeat, you will get nice bends, Do not hammer too much in one place, the hammer will distort, warp, sheet. Gradual bends, gradual, light hammering will do OK.
by|Jun 19, 2019
A: It is possible for sheet metal to warp. Heating the sheet metal does make it more bendable.
by|May 5, 2023
A: This sheet is very, very strong. If you plan on bending it, you will need the proper tool.
