ive got a redline z and was wondering if anyone has had the clear coat come off. mine is begining to come off just below the rear quater window on the passenger side. Its not bad yet but im afraid it will start to peal really bad. its right under the black trim. what would be a good fix so that it won't conitnue? so i put like clear protectant tape(used to protect your doors or like the clear tape used by rear wheel) or use brush on clear coat, anyone know if its hard to take off the black trim so i can get under it?

 

Once the clear starts peeling, it's like a bad sunburn peel. I had it happen on an old car of mine and I just had it redone at a bodyshop. That was because it was already in for accident repairs. I'm sure there may be a whole lot cheaper avenue.

 

shoulda waxed that thing, now you're fukced

 

i do wax my car, twice a year. its just in that one spot thats killing me. man, everyday i look at it and it bothers the f#ck out of me. i assume im just gonna have to brush touch up clear on it so it won't continue.

 

The same thing is happening to my laser red g35 on the rear deck spoiler.......and let me tell you it does get worse. Any suggestions would be nice.

 

You can try clear koat repair like nu-finish but I would recommend the shop for perfect shine. This might also be a sign that it is time for a new body mods.

 

srsly... BRUSH on clear coat?

wow...

 

dupli color makes touch up paint with a pen and brush side
you can buy it a any auto parts store, they make it in clear coat

 

Dupli color = crap

You should've waxed your car like every two months if it's always outside. I also have a redline (04) and it's perfect. I wax it every 3 months. The paint on my side mirrors is f***ed up, the rest is like new.

 

really, every two months. is that true? my mirrors are gone too buts i know alot of people have that problem.

 

I wax my car everytime I wash my car :X But I detail my car religiously. lol every 5 months I'll claybar, cleaner wax, polish and wax. then every 2 weeks i'll wash and wax.

Wax is to protect your paint.

Oh and to help you out with your clear coat problem, it will get worse if it is starting to peel. Take it to a body shop and let them re-clear that whole quarter panel.
