Hi,

The lacquer all over my car is peeling. The paintwork underneath does shine up but it is still obvious where the lacquer is flaking.

Is there any way to remove just the lacquer, or is a total rub down an re-spray required?

thanks

Jon

couldnt you re lacquer, then where the original bit had peeled spray another coat in that area and rub down and buff? Not perfect but doable?
