Has any tried this (repair clear coat? (1 Viewer)

[Herrett]

Has anyone actually attempted this and if so, what is your opinion of the results and do you have pics. My 1997 FZJ80 has hood and upper right quarter panel clear coat pealing damage and I’ve been quoted $1,600 to repair it.

Thanks for the input

I've yet to find anything that will remove clear coat without removing the paint under it. The quote you got may include a repaint of the affected area.

Clear coat repair is not a sensible move. Once the 'seal' has been broken you will find any repair unlikely to last. Often the affected panel needs to be taken down to bare metal to do a successful job.

That's cool. Got more pics? Or a thread?

I don't dig the skulls but I like the concept

Ahh, I thought I'd seen it in a thread somewhere.

I even commented in your thread

Talked to a paint guy about this last month. Said it would last 3-5 years. Give or take.

Thanks for the heads up gentlemen.
