...no no no...not about political shit....my SAFF

..I went in to check the car out today and to my horror found on the rear passenger panel and all around the doors pimples ...nothing to do with rust...i burst a few and it was like powder comming out and has left bare metal ...now it was bare metal sprayed about 6 years ago...so it aint anything to do with that....what has caused it.

 

From those pics it looks lik the laquer is pealing off, is it the paint colour too though or just a clear laquer on the top thats coming off?

 

what Chip'ster said.

 

I cant see the pics? photobucket blocked


but it sounds like the Laquer is just peeling up from the paint...



It happens, and yes.. its a cunt

 

chip-3door


this guys a legend.

 

Phil...

It looks to me like "Microblistering"....it is usually caused by moisture trapped at the time of re-paint causing corrosion over a period of time and emerging as these tiny "spots"

 

..the diva as the first reply i have read (i automatically assume who will post first so i ignore it now)....but its taken 6 years to do this?

 

got to be flattened and re-painted Phil.

will prpbably get worse too as time goes by.

 

...to add the second picture the spots where raised,looked like the car had shingles

...another shite saff...looks like it gonna break easy make a profit on this though.

 

I have seen this happen over more more than this time period in the past,my friends mgb did this after 8 years...

 

...i think i am gonna steer clear of old sierras now


...Dave i was gonna get it donr but i fear other parts of the car will develop like this

 

Might have been aggrovated by no longer being stored sheltered in a garage if thats where Rhys kept it previously, as sunlight can have a marked effect on how quickly this sort of thing happens.

 

phil
sell every car you own and buy

an auto td6 rr
and a m3 cab e46


sorted

 

He will probably break it.

Expect to see a thread something along the lines of:

For sale:
600bhp engine, from the same stable as the world famous yellow 400bhp m3"

 

RC4......just gonna break it and get an e46 m3 as the new toy i think ...cant beleive my bad luck with these old sierras ...the shell really is mint bar this....no rust at all anywhere

 

Its a fucking paint issue you mongaloid, just get it painted.

Who the hell breaks a car because it needs a bit of paint, lordy lord.

 

where did you think of mongaloid???

but the "just piant problem" is true tho

 

Chip u forgot to write "HOPE THAT HELPS "

 

..its a paint job that to get done properly will cost a fair bit as most of one side will need doin to blend it....so if i do it what happens if other areas get infected?...Getting pissed off with dodgy saffs tbh and may be time to step down for them.


This is in no way a diss to Rhys as it wasnt like it when i bought it..i think it was the fact i put it outside and put a cover on it then garaged it.

 

Its not that bad Phil, I would enjoy the Saff for a while before you make any rash decisions..... especially considering the amount of money you have spent on it!!

Look at it this way..... you would be more pissed off if this problem was on the Ferrari!!

 

As already said, it looks like micro-blistering. Usually caused by leaving a car in primer for too long before topcoating. When the temperature drops the moisture freezes and as we all know water expands when it freezes causing the tiny blisters.

My S2 was repainted in about '96 and has started to go in a few areas.

 

Mark...to me it is...i went for what i thought was the best Saff only for this cruel luck ...its disheartened me...this is the 5th Cossie i have had that had flaws on body...gets you down ...wish i'd kept the escos...nice car that.

 

You could get that blown over actually with laquer, then polished....


Ive only just seen pics... Not that bad of a job

 

Your going to break the car because of that

 

Always knew that Rhys kid was a shady character

 

wouldn't like to see you if it blew the head gasket lol, If you want to bin cos of that, you must be looking for any excuse to get rid?

 

Just get it sorted mate, as Radders said, it's not a bad job

 

Phill do you keep the car covered up out side? i have had the roof of one of my old cars do the same after i covered it up for the winter. The car swets and blisters the laquer. If you can try and get it inside with heaters i ended up having to get my roof painted, but my mate had the same problem and put the car inside for a few days with heaters and most of the blisters disapeared.

 

The place that painted my Sapphire will not wet sand anything other than lacquer before compounding because of micro blisters. They told me that primer is porous and will absorb water from wet flatting causing this problem.

Mark

 

PHil,

its a bit off paint work that is needed not a full respray. Dont break it just because of that

 

I actually reckon it'll polish out...

 

pennywise....really? ..i popped some and its now bare metal...can you polish that out?


..it aint drastic nothing 500 quid wouldnt sort BUT i am loosing the bug TBH.....

 

If that is under the paint and not just the laquer its fooked Phil and will need bare metalling to totally get rid of it!
Get it fragged as you know thats what you really want to do

 

I didnt realise it had gone to metal....



Couldnt have been a good paint job if it has, just through a bubble

 

it deffo aint the laquer.


..so basically i bought another lemon spadge? ..

..nothing against RHYS as the problem wernt there when i checked it over.

 

Get yourself a maroon marker pen and colour in the dots

 

martin i have and looks terrible.

 

Better still join them together and it will say GOTCHA CUNT

 

..my Dad always said to me if someone is selling there car its because something is wrong with it.

How very true
