Anyone know a good way to deal with blooming/hazing on black paintwork please?
The paintwork is new - I.E Resprayed within the last 3 - 4 mths - and thus on completely rust-free panels. Areas in question are the bottom corners of the doors and a touch on the panel just before the door (where the hinges connect, not sure of the tech term, sorry! :erm: )
Muchos gracias, amigos.

paint blooms when it is sprayed in damp conditions
the only way to stop this is to eather spray on a dry day/warm dry spray booth or you can use a aunty blooming thiners

So I'd heard...*Sigh* Thx, Bungle.
Trick is the damage is done, it's already hazy in those areas...is there any way to get rid of it or lessen its appearance?

cut back with a very fine wet n dry 1200 grit or finer, then buff up using farcella compound and a polishing mop, but be carefull not to burn paint or cut through !

Many thankings for the f/b, guys. Sadly, I don't trust myself with sandpaper or anything remotely similar...knowing my luck I'd bugger the paint up bigtime and I can't afford re-paints on the offending areas as a result.
GW:
1) Is that 'Braso' as in Brasso metal polish?
2) You're not 'having a laugh' are you? *Winks* because I've never heard of that before.

Nope, not having a laugh, it's a very fine abrasive which will just remove that surface bloom... try it on a small patch and be amazed...
My dad told me about that one, he said that's what they use to do on the rootes/commer production line
Now there's a thing, who's old enough to remember Rootes...

test a small area first you might get an ellergic reaction !! :grin:
Brasso is pretty much the same as T-cut / colour cut, both fine abrasive liquids.
both tend to leave a smear which can be removed by polishing (recommend Autoglym)

@ Jammy.
Weather permitting, I'll see what sort of result an introduction to Brasso yields, testing on small, inconspicuous area first, and let you all know. Thanks for the tips, 'tis much appreciated!
(... And when I catch the seagull that left a message on Monty's bonnet yesterday it won't like what happens to it...Monty's a sensitive little thing, he doesn't like 'gull C**p all over him...:fear: *Becomes Gull destroying Ninja*)

If you do use "brasso" to cut back the paint finish on your mini make sure you remove it all as it contains too much amonia and will damage paint .
If left on the surface of the paint for a few hours it will leave streaks that cannot be removed as the pigment will be bleached .
best to use farecala G3 by hand (not buffing machine)
remember to wax the surface after as a freshly cut paint finish will tarnish quicker .
