Yeah certainly there is a point where paint is unrepairable, thats when resprays come in.

But, you would be amazed what a little (or a lot) of TLC can do to transform the look of your ride.

Welcome Lino Thumb

I think once you hit clear coat failure or failure of the surface coating for single stage paints then you pretty much out of luck. That being said however, you can still polish the areas that are free from peeling paint Bluebiggrin

Unfortunately you CAN polish them but you will find they very soon fade back to dull. It's not like single stage paint. It's two stage without the clearcoat so it's not designed to be exposed to the elements. No amount of polishing and waxing will help.

As Springbok mentioned it can be painted. If there is still clear coat in some places it will retain it's shine providing you look after it accordingly. If only the exposed base coat remains it will fade again as it has no UV protection Thumb
