0 Pureshine Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Not much you can do with that. The only thing is to repaint it really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 baker Posted November 4, 2012 Author Share Posted November 4, 2012 I was thinking just hand polishing the roof. Test with clay bar, Hit with revive, then with glaze and top with APW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Schwag one Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Are those lights in the reflection on the roof or is that how the paint has faded so bad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 baker Posted November 5, 2012 Author Share Posted November 5, 2012 That's the severity of the fade.. I just teased them with the hood. Only did 1/4 of it. And the roof I only polished about 1 square foot. Not sure sure what I'm going to do. Need some blue tape for the hard edges though.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 BRZN Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 (edited) My daughters '94 Pontiac Grand Prix has the same type of "patina": lifting clear, missing clear along with faded or thinning paint. I lightly wet sanded it to help blend everything together and smooth out the lifting clear somewhat. Some areas came out really nice, others not so, but that's okay since I'm not having an 18 year old car with a 17 year old driver resprayed. Her car's a 30 footer for sure.
