Hi all
I've got a 60 plate Type S GT in Milano red. When I bought it, Lookers Honda resprayed the bonnet as it was loaded with stone chips. Two years on, the colour is fading and not quite matching the rest of the car. The biggest problem though is that it had developed large patches on the bonnet where the lacquer has peeled off, exposing the red base coat underneath. Not impressed!
I went to a paint repair guy who said it might actually be cheaper and less work to replace the whole bonnet itself!! Has anyone else had this problem or been faced with this as a solution to any part of their Civic? I know Honda paint isn't known for its durability but the extent of the problem is pretty ridiculous...
Cheers
Paul
