Paint laquer problem
« on: 30 March 2008, 15:13:47 »

I had a very lucky escape the other day when a piece of metal whizzed across the boot of the car. Amazingly it only seems to have damaged the clear laquer on a patch about 2 inch in diameter on top of the Irmsher spoiler.

The paint underneath is intact. And no I can't claim on anyones insurance!

What are the options apart from going to a paint shop? Could I carefully sand down and brush some clear "varnish" on?

brush laquer on with a modelling brush into the scrape and then once completely dry use T-cut and polish to make it smooth

Generally as above but apply sufficient lacquer (more than one coat) to ensure its level is above rest of paint level.  Rub down with 1000 wet n dry using a backing block then use cutting compound to blend in/smooth.  T cut and polish. Job done.
