Clear Coat Pealing
Hi guys,
I picked up my 1st vette last summer (86 C4, 1 owner, 43000 miles, good mechanically) and have been reading the posts ever since. Thanks for all the good tips / info I've pciked up.
Now on to my question ... in several spots the clear coat has pealed away and the paint underneath has faded. Is they any way to do spot repairs to these areas or am I going to have to paint the entire car. I'm not looking for a show quality finish, but I want it to look respectable.
Thanks for the help,
mark

yea. That's not the first 86 I have heard of where the clear has worn off.
I would get it professionally fixed.
Another thought, you might want to save up and get the entire car repainted. It will look much better, and the money difference won't be that much.
