Title: Non mk5 related paint problem
Post by: Jay_bcfc on September 05, 2012, 07:45:19 pm

Hi All, Im not to sure where to post this on the site but I was hoping someone could help me or give me some advice. It's regarding the bonnet colour on a M reg Corsa. see the pic below, the paint has basically gone white, and looks like it's disapearing and looks flakey and ideas how I can get it back looking good as I want to help the old dear out  :happy2: thanks for your time  :happy2:

Looks like the clear coat is fooked. Is it rough when you pass your hand over it?

+1. Looks like clearcoat failure.

+1 for clearcoat fail. Although it could just be horrificly oxidised paint though I doubt it. Could try a heavy compound with a cutting pad and see what you get although its a bodyshop effort for a respray methinks.
