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. |

Hi all.
Sorry for the delay in responding. I work for PPG. If you sand the clear and get into any of the color it will change it. Especially the metallic colors. I would look for a reputable shop to see if there is any way to try to salvage any of the stripes to minimize the cost. Feel free to PM me and we can discuss in detail to find where you are. I can refer you to one of our territory managers who can help find a shop. This does stink. B |
