Holy Cow.... I showed that pic to Deb from across my office and she thought it looked like a reflection of the Sun and cloud edges.

I think a couple more pics would help to get a better idea of the entire area that needs repair.

They make a big 'ol band-aid to cover that.

Seriously tho, Get a few referrals and make some calls, do your homework. Check out online mags like Corvettefever.com or some of the others out there. They often have tech tips or complete articles on paint/finish problems like yours.

I think there should be a disclaimer...for most of us....

The opinions expressed here are those of the person posting , and in no way represent the opinion of the rest of us.

Ok B.M., here they are. Daytime pix.......








Give me some feedback.

Wow bro, that looks like some paint work is needed. Sorry it's not a quick fix.

Nothing ever is!

It looks like the clear coat is failing or has failed where it was blended in.

The last pic looks like the clear is peeling.

The only way to do it right is to have the whole panel resprayed by a competent body shop.

Keep us posted.

Alright, some of you may hate it. Some of you may like it.

Here it is. Tell me your opinions. Sorry about the nightshots but hey, I'm a nightowl so.......



It was a cheap and easy solutions to the problem.

[Guro305]

Ha! Like I said, nightshot. Body isn't clean.

It isn't overly dirty but not superclean. I can't do too much unfortunately cause I have a messed up shoulder and neck. Unfortunately when you pass your car through the car wash, it never does a great job of cleaning the wheels and getting on my knees to clean them right now is a pain in the a$s!

I like black too but to me the silver just looked better in pictures so I took a chance on it. Yes, it completely covers the damage.

Looks very nice

Man, I hate to be a wet blanket........

I think you should have gone with black. The silver stripes look like, well, DUCT TAPE to me..........
