Ok so the driver door on the midori hatch i just bought is starting to oxidize or the cleat coming up. Is it possible to maybe sand all the clear off in the affected area. And apply a clear as a temp fix? Or possibly anythifng else to just temp fix it so i don't have to paint the whole car yet

 

just let it go until you're ready to paint your car unless you feel like getting just the door painted. it sucks looking at it, but there is no possible way to fix that without sanding it out or maybe even paint stripping the panel. what that is is not 'oxidation', it's delaminated clear. the clearcoat has failed and is peeling away from the basecoat. i'm a big fan of stripping panels once they've delam'ed because if the clear has failed on a few spots, you know it's on its way out on the rest of the panel too.

 

Well as much ad i didn't wanna hear that ivdo understand. There is also a fat *** dent on thee other quarter panel but i dont wanna start fixing the car up/put Money into it when my wifebisbgoing to be driving the car. And if i gotbthebcar. Painted and there was a single scratch I'll flip out.

Thank you very much for the response man i really appreciate it

 

Anyone else care to chime in

 

Bleh, the same thing is happening to my Integra. I couldn't really do anything about it, just watch slowly as my paint eats itself. =(

 

Yeah.. Its gonna really bug me looking at it every time

 

I feel yea. my whole roof is WHITE it makes me cry every day but I'm just gonna buy color matched paint in spray can and redue it.

I have small spots that are turning white too so I'm going to try and sand it down and throw clear on it.

You might as well try it..I mean what's the worse that could happen ya know?

 

Well how bout you let me know how's it goes then illl try it. The worst that can happen is that it looks worse then before and thats what im scared of lol

 

Be careful sanding down your paint. I went too far and now I have primer showing through in one spot. Wish I never did it.
