motorpunk Posted May 5, 2018 Posted May 5, 2018 My Alfa had some sort of leprosy. Will post pics, if you're not too disgusted.
beko1987 Posted May 5, 2018 Posted May 5, 2018 I happened upon this today! Amy parked infront of it at asda and I thought of this thread immediately! Not my car though, but still Whole car was hanging. Nice beige leather interior though... michael t and Aston Martin 2
Skizzer Posted May 5, 2018 Posted May 5, 2018 My Granny might not beat Jon’s 205, but it must have a shot at a Highly Commended: STUNO, Angrydicky and michael t 3
Dave_Q Posted May 5, 2018 Posted May 5, 2018 Poor compared to some but this was my recently departed Berlingo.
Faker Posted May 5, 2018 Posted May 5, 2018 Because it's cheaper to do a shit job that only lasts as long as the warranty.But that doesn't make sense... God knows what it cost for a main stealer to repaint this thing... but I bet it wasn't cheap!

Guest Hooli Posted May 6, 2018 Posted May 6, 2018 But that doesn't make sense... God knows what it cost for a main stealer to repaint this thing... but I bet it wasn't cheap! But how many did they sell without repainting? overall the profit is higher.

MorrisItalSLX Posted August 25, 2018 Posted August 25, 2018 The Hyundai of much fucked-ness Even some of the paint under the lacquer is disappearing! Lacquer Peel and michael t 2
PhilA Posted August 25, 2018 Posted August 25, 2018 I would post my car but it's kinda cheating. The original lacquer came off, the paint underneath burned through, it was repainted with no lacquer coat, then all that burned off. Last time I used the jet wash all the paint came off the hood and I was left with undercoat and rust... Phil

Simonsays Posted August 27, 2018 Posted August 27, 2018 My uncle owns this magnificent example of lacquer peel
stonedagain Posted August 27, 2018 Posted August 27, 2018 My uncle owns this magnificent example of lacquer peel WTF happened with those headlamps?
PhilA Posted August 27, 2018 Posted August 27, 2018 Continental beam benders. Suffering from ultraviolet breakdown of the glue holding them on, by the looks of it.
bunglebus Posted August 29, 2018 Posted August 29, 2018 I often see "carteracts" like that and wonder how the fuck people see where they're going at night. I polish my Passat's lenses regularly and they're still bloody awful.

PhilA Posted April 26, 2019 Posted April 26, 2019 Realized I never posted this. Pretty much all of the roof has gone bad. I think I need to try and rescue it soon. Phil paulplom 1
bunglebus Posted July 11, 2019 Posted July 11, 2019 These three are all the way past the laquer, through the paint and down to the primer - or the metal in the Astra's case adw1977 and jumpingjehovahs 2
