Hey matey i was after some advice. I own a Magna and i took the Mudflaps off only to find this black stuff on the paint. (On the left)
 By peaandham at 2010-12-15 After a close inspection i noticed this was actually under the clear, can i remove this without needing to repaint? Thanks Luke

Hi mate just after some advice. My DC LTD recently met a fence front on at about 30-40km/h. The only structural damage I can find after taking off bumper/headlights etc are where the bumper bolts to the chassis. I've added a few pics and just wanted to know if it would be possible to repair it and what you think it would cost if possible. Thanks.

Can I ask about ceramic clear coats that are used on euro cars.
Is it significantly better in protecting against the sun ? 5-6year on my BA and the clear is stuffed. Any benefit in adding opticoat after a paint job ? Thanks |

This happens to me too if I go to heavy/thick, and also if its too cold/damp air... If it dries like that often its there for good, although I have sanded/buffed out small ammounts in the past with success... The data sheets for your clear should have the recommendations listed, ie; Desired pressure, flash off, etc... And the min/max temp/humidity.

Id say hell yes, theres massive benefits, along with the massive cost too though.

I don't know if the stuff is still available, the last car I sprayed was back in the 90's, I used to use a bit of thinner retarder, that used to slow down flash off time and prevent any white patches coming up when spraying in humid/cold weather.

And that worked pretty well?
How cold would it have been, and how did you guess ratios? Spray cans are just a "dont even bother" under 15°
