Rightio, I have pictures this time, My punto got alot of small ****bits, I wan't to sort them myself, but before I do I would like advice on the best way to fix them, Because normally if I try something myself I **** something up lol


Numero Uno!

I'm not sure how this one happened but its really un consistant and starting to rust, It looks like my dad sprayed it (he 'tried' making it look better) then didn't bother to laquer

Not sure what to do with this one, I'd assume I'd sand it then paint it again lol


Two

The black plasticy bit under my window is flaking off, can I usee http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/..._productId_192603_langId_-1_categoryId_165495 this on it? and repeating around the other side?


Three

The laquer is coming off just below the plastic, and around the fuel cap, Will some t-cut sort this or does it require more?


Four

Well its dry and flakey! There's also a problem with my handbreak :idea:
Not sure if its the overcoat used on the plastic but theres alot of flaking and bubbling, Fine sand/glass paper?


Five

Alot of scratches on the door handle, same with above?


Also my car looks so friggen messy :O need to break out the the ear buds

Thanks in advance :), I will donate to the forum as soon as I got some spare dosh :D

If it has been sprayed before and its only a small area get some Cellulose thinners and a pile of cheep cloths the celly thinners will remove the aerosol paint but not harm the original factory paint

sand out the rust then respray (it will be a pain to match perfectly been metalic

is a good kit

for the chip i'd spray a bit of the paint into the cap of the spray paint then use an artists paint brush to touch up
