For the most part, my paint is pretty good - it's generally smooth and apart from a few light scratches (mainly bush rash) it's tidy. On the drivers side leading edge of the door and bottom of the A-Post though, there appears to be an effect in the lacquer, like a crazing or clouding. It almost looks like overspray, but I'm not sure it is. It's just as smooth as the rest of the paint, and I'm thinking it's the lacquer itself





Is it likely this can be buffed/polished out? Or does it need wet and dry rub down and then re-buff?

The lacquer finish is breaking down, probably due to poor quality prep or UV protection.

I would say that respray is the only option there. If you try to machine it out, it will only get worse.

respray unfortunatly as it would appear that has been painted before, badly and probably with single pack laquer which is shite!

Very similar to lacquer peeling . Repaint is the only thing

Won't harm to try wet n dry 1500 paper first and then buff with g3?if that doesn't work you'll need to spray but it won't make it any worse and you've nothing to lose.
