Clearcoat on a fibreglass car...

[morebeanz]

Need some advice chaps!

I'm rather gutted that, on removing my Le Mans stickers, I have managed to take off some of the clearcoat on the Cerbera. Pointless talking about how and why, as what's done is done.

My question is, although I don't intend to leave the patch unattended for too long, are there any risks to the body work from leaving the colour coat exposed? I'm sure there may be further paint damage, but that's not really an issue here - could I do any damage to the fibreglass beneath?

The car is garaged routinely and not used every day...

The paint on GRP bodywork is just cosmetic. Lots of kit cars (and many other GRP products) aren't painted at all and just have a gel coat finish, so no, it won't cause any damage.

Thanks! I had hoped that was the case, but I wasn't sure...
