Yep, looks like you have gone through the clear coat, I suspect nothing short of a respray will correct that unfortunately ...sorry

 

Tango,

Although i did think striketrough, on the BB i had that and with the PDG found that all was healty.

I still think its micrmarring.

 

I'm hoping that's the case. The paint on the 09s is extremely soft so it's a possibility. I'm sending Rob a sample of poorboys SSR1 with a finishing pad to give it a try. If Rib is at the next Herts meet we can check it out with a paint thickness guage that will measure the thickness of the layers but it's not definative.

Rob, I can check with Steve and see what he thinks.

 

Lee,

once again many thanks for your assistance on this, fingers crossed it can be sorted without a respray, but if not..well its only money after all

cheers

Rob

 

And indeed thanks to all who have offered their help/thoughts on this problem, I will keep you updated

 

Apart from me, who was just inclined to cruelly rib you! Just because I don't think I know anyone less fastidious about their car than you.

 

 

Good news guys, after some deliberation, Honda HAVE agreed to carry out the work under warranty so its in on the 9 Aug for 5 days! I will post up the 'after' photos for your judgement

Happy days!

 

How did you go through clearcoat by hand? :s

 

That's great news Rob .... did you only find out about that today then?
