I noticed that the paint has somehow been worn through the clear coat on the rear deck lid, is there anything I can do to make this look less obvlious, other that re-spraying? I hae polished it, etc.

your best option is to live with it or do a shot of color and re clear. good news is that it is on a panel you can remove and take to the body shop (no over spray, dust and compound on entire car). if you remove the tail and take it apart the shop shpold not charge to much and you will be sure you get a better prep job. tell them you want the edeges finished you it cant be told it was painted

I think that there is also a spot on the roof, I think I can live with it. I will need the bumpers done soon, I'll see how much they would charge to sure the whole thing up then.

Hi Gabi,

I'm not sure where you are based but if you can get anywhere near Cressing in rural Essex then Clark and Carter are one option you should consider. They are very good and know the cars well. All my paintwork has come out really well with them. PM me if you want to know more.

Cheers,

David

Caveman: Thanks may take you up on that, I need to pay for my engine re-bulid and recover some funds before I get into anything expensive again like body work.

Are there any good protecting polishes/waxes/polymers that I can use to mask it for now?
