Eddieboi Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Hi all, The other day I noticed an issue with the front left passenger door. Now I'm pretty sure when I got my new used car on the 10th of June that it was not like that. Annoyingly I took some pics when I got the new used fiesta zetec 08 car but didn't take a picture of the left side. Anyways I'm not sure what's happened or what's caused it or what action I should take. Here is a pic I've attached. Regards, Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yokomoko Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 That picture is awful! I should sue you for the neck pain I might acquire! Back on topic, has the car been reprayed or part-sprayed? That's what it looks like to be but I'm not an expert. Looks like it is micro-blistering, which may only come up after some fairly hot/cold weather. It's a pretty significant respray if it is! Can't help on the how to fix though, things I've looked at in the past has suggested a sand down and spray which is obviously dangerous in its self.

Eddieboi Posted June 17, 2013 Author Share Posted June 17, 2013 Yeah funny enough my brothers gf who is training to be a sprayer said it could be micro blistering. Was thinking of getting some stuff from Halfords to sort of make it look half descent again. I can imagine a respray of the entire door might be somewhat exspensive. On a good note I found out the black colour user was panther black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddieboi Posted June 18, 2013 Author Share Posted June 18, 2013 I saw that Halfords do a repair kit for scratches and chips and I was wondering it this is at least a way to make it look not as bad as it is? I know th colour of the car is panther black. My brothers gf has been trained to be sprayer for card so I may ask her advise as well on what to do. Either way I'm pretty sure the car didn't have this micro blistering when I viewed it and maybe they polished that up real good to make it not noticeable.

Eddieboi Posted June 18, 2013 Author Share Posted June 18, 2013 Sure it isn't bird !Removed!? My car has recently been **** on and it looks very similar ;-)I did think that myself but I'm thinking can bird crap cause those type of line marks? And I don't remember seeing any bird crap since I've had the car lol Plus some of those marks feel/look like scratches. Ps when I uploaded the pic some reason it got put at a different angle lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mordey Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 I had bird muck on the roof. It left the paint looking slightly dull. Tried to T-cut out on a cold day which didn't work. Tried again on a hot day and all traces of the muck came off. Think the heat opens up the paint surface. Worth parking it in the sun and T-cut it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
