mud-club ate my paint

well biggest splat sticker they sell did

it took the top coat of paint off my bonnet showing the primer so a trip to halfords was in order for some metalic redy/orange paint . . . they had none so i spotted some matt black rattel cans so i got it ready and painted it mostly in a dark and wet awning with only a awning light

so what do you guys think (the water marks are after the awning leaked after it dried)

Just a note to all ;-)

I've had all manner of vinyl stickers on my vehicles (including the SC) ... they don't remove the paint if it's on ok ;-)

In fact Piglet's had all his removed and he was very shiny  :-#

removed all my stickers last week, and they had been on for a fair while, l had loads on from different forums, and not one took me paint off. I used a hair dryer and took them off that way, slow and painful but no paint loss.

Sounds like the paint didnt actually key to the bonnent surface..What paint did you use?was the surface clean?

I have removed a few stickers before without any trouble..

the full car was resprayed in the metalic orangey red by the previous owner i think the bonnet they ran out of paint as it wasnt very thick and there was a coat of the same colour under the primer that was flawed aswell so i think that the primer wasnt smoothed down of wiped down before the top coats by the look of it


the bonnet is fine now with the black
