    Re: Oxidized question.

    Unfortunately, the car has clearcoat failure.



    The only way to fix it is to repaint the car.

      Re: Oxidized question.

      Is that single stage or base/clear coat? Easy way to tell is to take some paint cleaner with a white cloth and work it in the paint. If it turns out red, than you got single stage and you can polish that out with medium to aggressive paint cleaner and than finish it up with a pure polish like #7 or DC#2. I would personally use ColorX or better yet with D151, lots of drinks, and the help from a friend over the weekend.

      However, if it doesn't turn red, you have a two stage paint, which means that will not polish out and rather needs to be resprayed. Just eying the picture, it does look like a two stage paint sadly.

          Clearcoat failure. A repaint is the only way to fix that.

            The paint does seem a bit oxidized and I do agree with everyone else on the clearcoat failure. Looks like the rear bumper was repainted.

              There's no reason to test anything on that car as already mentioned, nothing will fix that type of problem except a new paint job. Never tell a customer you can fix clear coat failure.

              If the future if you do need to test a paint job to see whether it's a single stage or a basecoat/clear coat finish then here's how...


              The above link is found in Hot Topics and the below link is found in How To Articles forum.

                Here is another vote for clearcoat failure. I see a repaint in your future.
