Perfil de quebranto

English translation: crease line

Spanish to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Automotive / Cars & Trucks / Automobile bodywork repair
Spanish term or phrase: Perfil de quebranto
Instructions for repair of bodywork panel, using bumping blades, mallets, dollies etc.

Here are two examples of usage:

Haciendo uso de un mazo de goma, cuya intensidad de impacto es limitada, se aproxima el daño, fundamentalmente el *perfil del quebranto*. (This paragraph is a bit elliptical - by aproximar el daño, they are saying that the damage is repaired to come close to the original panel shape).

"La conformación real del daño se realiza con tas y martillo procurando, en este caso, no golpear directamente sobre el *perfil del quebranto*."

All help gratefully received! The text is from Spain, translating into British English.

Asker: But if you don't knock on the damaged area, you can't remove the dent....! (In some cases, you may tap around the edges of it, I know, but the direct method is more common).
