n boost Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Some B4stard low life moothfcukr has splashed what looks like paint thinner on the roof of my r33 gtr. Just noticed it and it has gone into the lacquer and will not t cut out or buff out. It has not corroded the paint but looks more stained, like blobs of dry milk stains. Any ideas if this will mop out or any other things i can try before fcuking painting it? Well pi$$ed off, only had car for 3 weeks and it started all ready and just spent nearly 3k on it!

Jealous mo fo's!!! Not sure if you've already tried, but there's T-cut pollish called 'Colour Fast' and it's pretty good at blending in/covering up blemishes in paintwork. It may require some good old fashioned elbow grease, depends on the severity I guess, but would be a damn sight cheaper than painting it!? I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!

Dnk Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Try blocking it out with 1500 wet & dry, if you have to go through the laquer to lose the marks then its repaint the roof m8 im afraid good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozz Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 If you've only had the car 3 weeks I guess its possible the previous owner had a problem with the roof, had a cheap respray done and the blemishes are only now starting to come through? Doesn't really help you fix it, sounds like you'll need to rub back and respray, nightmare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the paint is a rare nissan red flake with a touch of flip in it. Will try getting it mopped out to see if it makes a difference. People can be mindless morons sometimes.

adnanshah247 Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 sadly there are a few low lives out there. what you need to do is use 1200 grint sand paper and cover the entire area where the car was splashed. dont worry when you begin to sand because it will show like a cloudy effect on your paint work. make sure you sand with a lot of water and do it by hand. once you have sanded away you will be left with a dry looking dull whitey colour. from there get out a polishing tool like a grinder with a big mop (cloth.sponge) on it. you need to get compound (polishing one) and spread it generously on the dull bits. then go over it calmly with the mop. do not put a lot of pressure in as the compound will eat the lacquer and result in to buring it off. with this procedure what your simply doing is taking away one very thin layer of lacquer from the paint work. you will be really amazed with the finish. also the rest of the car dont bother sanding, just go over it with the mop and compund to get your entire car looking like one shiny piece.

adnanshah247 Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 p.s. forgot to mention. there loads of products out there that might cover it up, like said on this thread before things such as t-cut and a variety of polishes. the only problem is they dont last, as soon as the car is washed or it rains hard you will be able to see the marks again. the way i explained up above is a guaranteed finish providing the lacquer is ok and the paint underneath is ok.

Will try that mate, suppose worth a try as worst case scenerio i will still have to paint it if i fcuk it up. Thanks for the advice everyone, some good ideas and things i did not think off. Great thing about good forums is advice and positive comments. Needless to say have a few lads looking into who was around at the time and who could have done it. God help them if i find out as kangroo court sounds interesting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kranz Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Personally I'd use 2000 grit or even 2500 to reduce the risk of taking the whole clear coat off. Its only a couple of quid on fleabay for 5 half sheets, and that should do you fine. Then compound it. Will come up fine if its not all the way through the clear coat. If it doesn't work then a quick going over the areas with 1500 to the depth of the damage, and then the careful application of clear coat on those spots and just over the edges. Then flat it back down with 2000 and finally blend/compound it in. I did this with scratches on my bonnet. It worked well. I'd entrust it to a specialist though, I'm a bit of a cowboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
