How To Fix Peeling Paint On Luxury Cars

Even the best luxury car brands can suffer from poor quality paint that delaminates and peels off over time. Peeling paint lessens the value of any car because it looks just plain ugly. An especially troublesome area are plastic pieces like spoilers that get intense UV exposure from the sun that damages the paint. Making repairs to peeling luxury car paint is easy by following a few simple steps before applying the touchup paint. Watch the video and we’ll show you the painless process to make your peeling paint parts look factory new again. This Lexus had a non OEM paint job with paint flaking off of the spoiler. The owner paid a reputable shop to paint it, but not all paints will stick to all plastics. It is important to follow all plastic painting procedures to ensure your paint will stick on troublesome material.

You can get very close to a mirror finish if you spray wet coats and wait at least 10 minutes between coats. Wetsanding and buffing will obviously give a mirror shine. I can find texture on even a new Porsche, BMW, or Mercedes. Just by waiting extended dry times you can acheive very little texture seen on a high end car. Hurrying the process and skipping dry times will give a really heavy orange peel that sometimes takes weeks to show up.

The front bumper takes about 3 cans of both color and clearcoat. You could probably be able to guess how much further you would like to take the blend. Most of my customers prefer to panel paint.

I purchased your kit to repaint a roof spoiler on my car. I noticed in your videos you don't wetsand between the base coat and clear coat or after the clear coat has dried. Should I do that to achieve the best outcome to avoid orange peel. Or does your product require base and clear to be applied one after the other?

[@Automotivetouchup]

Do not sand between coats of color or clear unless you have really bad texture or specs of dirt. At the end you can wetsand the clearcoat with 1500 and buff that out if you're after a mirror finish.

Any recommendations on a mid cost spray gun I can use with a standard compressor? I am trying to avoid high costs but enough to do a bumper

[@Automotivetouchup]

+HisXlency We sell low cost spray guns for about 25. While these do fine in real world spraying, they are considered throw away quality. The spray gun works well, but the price of the gun is cheaper than the cost of the repair parts when it does break. Devilbiss makes some decent guns for about 150. Sata is on the high end but be prepared to spend over 500.

do we have to sand it after primed? And what kind of sand paper to use?

[@Automotivetouchup]

Yes, you need to sand primer after applying it. You may start with something rough like 320 if there is some heavy texture, but it needs to be finished in 600 before applying basecoat color.
