In this video i show you how i (a small independent car dealer) deals with lacquer peel / flaking clear coat on car bodywork without having to respray the entire panel.

As with most of the repairs i show you, this is a demonstration to highlight that with a little know-how and some basic materials, you can fix the issues on your car yourself and potentially save big £££!

    Great video. Just about to lacquer a plastic bumper. I guess I can’t use a heat gun because of the plastic. Is there anyway to heat the panel without damage?

    Is that 2K clear coat? It would not last if it is not.

    Great job man! Fantastic end result and a "to the point" video without music and unnecessary waffle! Thank you for sharing!

    Sanding would scratch base coat and not only clearcoat. Would require respraying color before clear. Or it wasnt sanded enough to cut the outline of the laminated spot. I can see the flop in the shine where the spot was before. Good demonstration. Not all spot repairs work this way

    Would this work on lacquer peel on Milano red Honda civic?
