Re: Jose from Orlando here.
Well i took some pictures today here comes the mayhem!
What do you guys recommend i do? I want to avoid paying somebody to paint it when if i can save it myself. I had it at a shop for 6 months and they let it sit under the hot Florida sun.Comment

Re: Jose from Orlando here.
Jose,
What tools/ polishers do you have available: DA, rotary?
Are you familiar with wet/ damp sanding?
Do you have aggressive compounds available: M105, M95?
It looks like you need some serious paint removal/ correction.Comment

Re: Jose from Orlando here.
Ouch.
We really hate to say this but it looks like you've got some fairly widespread clear coat failure going on there. Take a look at The Clearcoat Failure Photo Archive for more images of this happening in various stages of failure.
The problem here is that once it starts there's just no stopping it. You might be able to make it look a bit better for a while, but that's going to be a pretty short while. The only way to correct this is to strip the paint and respray.Michael Stoops

Re: Jose from Orlando here.
Yeah, I was afraid that the clear coat would be toast. I'm going to pick up some 2000 grit sand paper and wet sand it then attempt to cut and polish it. I'm already looking at a couple of body shops for the paint. Thanks guys i really appreciate it.Comment
