seriously, what's wrong with this paint?
 
5 Attachment(s)
The roof of my brother's g35 is just f**ed up for some reason. A bunch of birds' claws may have caused the crazy scratches or some hater may have done it.The groove in the scratches now have some rusts.
The paint near the scratches turned blueish with some kind of bubble looking chit under the paint.
What could have caused this, and should i repaint it or wrap it with gloss black?
i was quoted $400~500 to repaint the roof which willl take about 2 days.

thanks

the sun beat the piss outta that roof. Probaby been painted before and did a chitty prep job and chittty materials. LIke reducing the paint with thinner instead of the temp controlled reducer.

the sun could very well be at fault yes.

very likely..
Where the scratches came from is misterious :ugh:

If i decide to wrap it, how do i get rid of the rust completely and fill the hole?

Improper care.
Years of use of abrasive products.
Applying wax over dirt.

Moved to the correct forum.

Can you take a pic from further away?

Clearcoat is toast... totally oxidized. Next up will be the paint underneath as the clearcoat continues to bubble/flake/crack etc. Plus the scratches and gouges are only going to accelerate further oxidation, since contaminants will easily get trapped. Can be due to industrial fallout / rail dust / metal particles + water, sun, and time. But really, who cares the reason, you need to get it repainted.
