Your bonnet in the first pic looks like mine does - slightly different colour and paint crazing. This is probably because back in the day a dealer would get a cheap bonnet respray done to tidy the car up for sale, get rid of stone chips etc. Initially looked nice but over time with engine heat, sun etc the paint crazes probably because the respray layer paint type is incompatible with the original paint underneath. ________________________________________ Cherry Rallye SOLD |

Yeah it doesn't look like typical peel as it's all over the bonnet, this is basically what I have to sort:  Gonna sand it back, then primer, base and clear, never painted before but feeling like i can't make it look any worse ________________________________________ 98 Blaze 6 - Current |

Make sure you prep before paint! get some decent wax and grease remover, and go over everything twice.sand to 240grit max before primer, otherwise it wont stick. minimum of 140 grit, or you'll end up with scratch marks embedded in the paint. do not use spray cans for horizontal surfaces like the roof, it will spatter and look like utter s**t. get a small compressor and a small gun, and do lots of light coats, shouldn't cost too much. thinnest coat should be your base coat and thickest should be your clear. you can wet sand out any imperfections in your clearcoat and primer, but do not sand your basecoat. oh, and dont f**king touch it for like 3 days at least. |
