Re: Laquer Peeling

same here, doors, wings, bonnet, roof, rear wings cant do anything really? except dont pick it! makes it worse

but i think best bet would be put some clear nail vanish over the edge where its peeling to stop it peeling off?

Re: Laquer Peeling

it shows that the car has been painted before and they did a bad job., only cure is to have it repainted again but thats a lot of money.,

Re: Laquer Peeling

thats unusuall., maybe just fiat skimping on quality there too.., you'd usually see this on a car that had been painted and not preped properly.,

That was the case on my car bonnet, absolutely awful paint job. Apparently, they must have put down a coat of primer, then painted over the top of that whilst it was still drying. Laquer peeling, paint easily chipped etc.

Luckily I know a man with a spray gun and it doesn't look anything like that now.

Re: Laquer Peeling

the idea is to paint it while the under layer isnt completely dry though,., helps it al fuse together.,
