i need advice people!
 

Hi everyone need some advice,

Had my bonnet sprayed about 8 months ago, the bodyshop did a really good job and i was pleased up until about 2 months ago.

It seems that the slightest thing is affecting the paint.

This week for example, the car has been outside near a tree. Obviously some blossom came off the tree when it was raining, it sat on the car for about 2 days while i was away with work and now has left marks the same shape as the blossom, tried polishing it out with my Megs g220, compounding pad etc and it wont come off.

Its as if the lacquer is reacting to everything that touches it. Has anyone else experienced this?

This isnt a neglected car, it has a good coat of sealant and a good few coats of a good quality wax every month.

Do you think i should go back to the bodyshop and have a word with them? I really done hope i have to pay yet again.


Please help me.

sounds odd mate. i think you should speak with the bodyshop and explain your concerns. see what they say. surely there is some sort of guarantee on their work for a period.

give it a go

Small udate to the situation.

After a night with no sleep thinking about my bloody bonnet lol (sad i no, but i love my saxo) i thought i would phone the bodyshop just incase were open, i was very relieved when the answered the phone.

Basically the guy has told me that a while back he had an issue with a bad batch of lacquer and he thinks this is the same problem.

So when the car goes to have its sides re-sprayed on the 10th they will be doing the bonnet again as well.


Hopefully things will be sorted then.

Thankyou


James

hope it all end up allright :y:

sounds good, glad the bloke is being spot on about it, get some pics up when its done :D

cheers lads, it goes in on the 10th and it will return when its perfect. The bodyshop dont give return dates.

Thankyou.

James

least they have good customer service after the job unliek most companies, sounds like a good company name n praise ;)

The place is called Cheadle Bodyshop (stoke on trent), really cant fault the place mate i no that im having this problem now but they are only human and it isnt really there fault the paint was faulty.

Sorry for the epic bump, but James are you still happy with the work they've done?

Need some work doing on mine and want to know if these guys are recommended?

Cheers,
Dan

James doesn't use the forum anymore, However i know he is insanely fussy so would imagine they're work is up to standard.

*their

Aaaaaand, hooked!

Out of interest why doesn't he use the forum anymore? Thought he was going for an engine build with bodies ect

He did a poo on the carpet so we had to put him down.

He got bored of banning people.

He was offered a job on PT for more money

It's a shame he was asked to unban you.

Seems you're still bitter about it though.

Clearly you have been misimformed. He wanted to ban me forever and for no reason and the proper mods on this site saw sense.

He was a joke. Good riddance to him.

How have I been misinformed. You said exactly what I did. He was asked to unban you...

He still thinks ginger hair is a legitimate reason for a perma ban.

Well he wasn't much of a looker and neither are you really...
