Shedding skin...

[anonymous-user]

My beloved 964 is shedding its lacquer. It's not major but it certainly is peeling away in a couple of areas. I'd prefer this not to happen but it's 16 years old and has not spent all its life indoors Any tips on how I might save my precious bodywork?

All original paint?

strip and repaint unfortunately

once it starts to lift there's nothing you can do as the process has already started

Where on the car is this happening? If it's a very small area, a clear laquer touch up brush can be used on the edges of the flaking.

This sounds just the job as its fairly localised. Do you know where I might be able to buy some? Cheers

Your OPC will have it, alternatively Halfords or other automotive paint shops

surprised you didn't ask for someone to send you one at their own expense? on a serious note, did you notice this after you clayed the car?

I never did get round to buying the clay. You got some?

No need to say it - it's a given. Why did you put your profession at the end of your message?
