Fixing clear coat laquer peel,sun damage to car cheaply with spray cans

[@stevenc5227]

Brings back memories of my dad, he used to buy old bangers and do this sort of stuff to make them look good, he could not afford a new car they were always 10+ years old, but he used to keep them really clean and they all looked shiny.

Nice video. Simple, fast, cheap!!!! I need to do my trunk.

[@septarinisarah]

what grit did you use to sand the bumper?

[@Fastfixups]

800

[@rockatansky1305]

Nice job looks a hundred percent better. I've just done a similar job on my 02 Astra G, however i had to use some base coat ( Star silver III, and then laquer and wet sand with 2000 and some G3, Dont think it would have worked like yours did, by just rubbing it down then laquer, wish it woukd have ,save me a lot of hassle. 👍

[@Fastfixups]

@@rockatansky1305 Thanks, Yeah if it’s too bad you have to use the base coat aswell, Sometimes if you’re gentle with the sanding you can get away with laquer only. Great user name Max max 👍

[@fallenone6]

How does one know if they can get away with just clear coat and not base coat?

[@Fastfixups]

@@fallenone6 after sanding if you’ve still got the colour coat there and no primer or metal showing then jus use clear coat. Water will simulate clear coat showing you how it will look

[@fallenone6]

@ChannelTenx cool thanks. How did you find the exact color match and where did you get it from?

[@Fastfixups]

@@fallenone6 it’ll say the code on a plaque in the door shuts, maybe behind the passenger door. Then get it on eBay

Brother had an older 1 of these did 330k, serviced monthly, took it to newquay and all the rubber and seals fell apart after 2 years, but motor was as sweet as a nut. looked like a pick up in the end no glass left in it. 🤣🤣

[@Fastfixups]

Wow. Yeah you could keep these running for years for little money

It takes one minute to remove the fuel cap.

[@craigbmm4675]

now take that sand paper to the headlights . 2500-3000 then clear coat

[@Fastfixups]

I’m going to do that when it gets warmer

[@tag-i2v]

Anyone that says they can fix pealing clear coats or anything else with a spray can that looks good and will last is full of crap.

[@Fastfixups]

@@tag-i2v Yeah this job won’t last forever n doesn’t look perfect, But if you spent more money on 2k clear coat (spray can with hardener), and spent a lot more time, I think you’d be really surprised

[@chiefrocka8604]

Minimal masking up is the future comrade 🇷🇺

[@chiefrocka8604]

Now flat and clear coat lacquer the headlight for pt2 🥷🏿👍

[@Fastfixups]

Haha, i did get some overspray on the bonnet bit it’ll polish off

[@Fastfixups]

Good idea 👍, they need it
