Look at the window frame which is the same angle? Like I said it just looks metallic

the white bit here in the boot corner is what i mean. the paint goes soft and white. this is what the whole car goes like.
I see what you mean, Im not blind.
Maybe a wrong mix when painted, was it done in 2K or what?

usuall with fords lol
Seems strange for sure. Only thing i can think of was a fail during the painting process, like getting too cold or being left in frost now i think about it.
Off topic - X reg fiesta has more rust then my T reg tigra, even tho both have about the same miles.

i had this happen when i had my first car sprayed, when you wipe the rain off and leave it it goes back to normal. its something to do with the content of acid in the rain. A decent coat of polish/wax to protect the paint will stop this doing the same thing again. I have seen it a few times now confused the **** out of me lol
Looks like a sh*t paint look, its mottly as funk, to much paint blown in the shut/edge of the door, might not be fully dry from what you say happens when you wipe it off.. Bonnets the wrong colour too. Take it back.

never seen that before, was it baked? looks like you can see white primer and grease marks through the base colour. needs flating and doing again imo! like the colour though, all of them lol

ffs people read. the white mottly colour goes away when its dry. its the wet that affects it. but the bonnet doesnt seem to be affected.

the wrong activator was used as the piant dont look cured thats how its been affected by the rain if your pianting in a garage or what ever then you need to use fast air dry activator as normall activator wont cure the piant unless properly baked in a proper oven

26-10-09, 07:11 PM
do you know if it was water basecoat or solvent
dougie_boi
26-10-09, 07:15 PM
by the looks of it its solvent mate
16v Nova Kev
26-10-09, 07:18 PM
if its solvent then try and heat up 1 pannel dont cook it tho and see if that sorts it.
Jon_nova1
26-10-09, 07:21 PM

read the first post lol. when its dry its fine. absoloute sweet paint job. soon as its wet and the water has sat on it for a while it goes like this.
Jon_nova1
26-10-09, 07:25 PM

let_nova
26-10-09, 07:33 PM

FPMSL @ your first post....:roll:
As some have said, possibly mixed wrong or wrong type of laquer used. Not read the thread in detail, who did the paint job?

I love this post, show us your skills. I wanna see the last car/panel you painted.
I wonder if it was avon who painted it?
Anyways, Without actually poking about at the paint im going to say the clear wasnt mixed properly, Or again the mixing ratio was not correct.
Sometimes this happens if your rushing about or inexperienced, there isnt a lot you can do tbh... If you flat and polish it you run the risk of opening up the clear and if not fully cured, it will come away from the substrate.
Only thing you can do tbh is try a flat and polish on one of the effected areas give it a buff and then get it wet.
on that will this happen if you use clean water from say a hose pipe...
