Clear coat? Quick fix?

When it gets wet, it goes away.

Easy fix?

 

I think you're probably going to have to respray the whole thing. You could scuff it up and try to blend in the area to the rest, but I'm sure it would never match. But then if you do that..the newly painted trunk wouldn't match the rest of the car..humm

 

semi gloss clear spray bomb - shoot just the spot that's turned white

 

The clearcoat has deteriorated and is delaminated. This has exposed the base color. Any repair is only going to be as good as the foundation it's applied to.

That being said, do you really think painting over an existing problem surface is the best thing? I would think strip the panel and refinish as needed. Other methods might only be a "band aid" fix. If you're going to keep the car, do it once. Good luck Stu

 

Yep, two ways out. One is right and the other is quick.

 

Once the clear disappears, like yours did, it lets moisture get into the basecoat, which is porous paint. If you do not live in a very dry area, there's probably rust under that blue paint where the clear is gone. Spreads quickly, too!

 

the only fix is to strip it down and repaint it.

 

Did you try to buff and wax

 

sorry to say, the only fix is to repaint and clear the entire hood and blend paint to the left fender and clear it also.

 

Put a racing stripe down that side.
