[R1mini]

Hello all,
I have a vauxhall which the red paint has horribly bloomed (gone cloudy and nearly pink!) I regularly have to Tcut it back which is tedious, is there any easier way to deal with this or perhaps stop it

Cheers
David

speaking to my friend the other day, its because the type of paint they use called 2 pack

but sorry not sure if theres much u can do

Have you tried the red polish/T cut stuff??

It'll come up fine with g3 on a machine polisher. you could run over the main sections with 3000 grit wet and dry on a DA if you have one, keeping away from the edges, just to take the very top layer of paint off.

Noooo satan has spoken

Never use T-cut with so called 'colour enhancers' in,... you dont' want to be trying to dye your paint another colour, it's pretty harsh stuff too.

i'd go with the g3 and a mop. Vauxhall Flame Pink.. sorry, mean red, is a bugger for fading.


My brother had a Calibra a few years ago that was starting to fade, he was out every week or 2 with the colour restoere and wax lol

My girlfriends Corsa does this. I attacked it with some SRP and one of the el cheapo halfrauds electric polishers and it got rid of it for about a month .

when i owned a red escort it never faded. mind you i was polishing it regularly. polish doesn't do much to turds though.



don't ask, i was young and innocent then..................
