This is well outside of my wheelhouse! I am assuming this is the clear succumbing to the last 5-years of (my ownership) exterior storage and beat by the sun. I've never seen clear literally peel and lift (like this). It is only happening to the top radiused edge but is on all four sides - it is metal. Can this be wet-sanded down and then re-sprayed with clear? What to do and how to do it? Thanks in advance...
Tony PS: My main concern is not being able to salvage the paint - multiple colors would be a PITA to respray. |

Tony this is a very common issue in my country due to very high UV count ,the main issue is that you need to feather the edges of the clearcoat ,doing this can still leave an slight edge which will show up when the clear is reapplied,in some cases the solvents in the clear will cause those edges to lift further.
Older metalic basecoats don't take to sanding very well and can look somewhat different when fresh clear is put on top,plain colours are less of an issue. These kind of paint repairs are very difficult to achieve a good result,then theres the problem of other area's separating later in most cases its only a matter of time (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) . |
