Post by: john_o on March 22, 2009, 04:40:43 pm

ok then , not best pics but what is it?
Side on its visible , directly front (90 deg to the mark) on its not visible , almost in the lacquer , there are a fews more like it on the bonnet. almost metallic in the way it looks.
First pic is native , second is zoomed in on area.

Hi,

This looks like a base coat spot, or a microblister in the base coat... it doesn't appear to be in the lacquer (hard to judge from the photo though), do you know if it's ever been painted?  And also, are you able to take a picture from a distance, rather than a close up?  I should be able to tell you more from there.

Hope this helps

Jim  :smiley:

If you can get another picture I'll have a look and see if I can determine more definitely what it is for you.

Where abouts in the country are you?  It may be that if you're anywhere near where our travels take us, we could come and have a look at it for you.

Hi John,

I can't see any PM from you... might be worth sending it again - alternatively you could e mail me at jim@autoperfection.com
