DavidB Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Spotted this on Facebook Marketplace, never seen anything like it: Quote needs paint. Did Ford get their red paint from the same place they bought their metal? Cheap, and looks okay otherwise, but then again, probably not. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1254360321734158 bunglebus and LT84 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our red Jazz of similar age turned dog dick pink, but at least the lacquer didn't peel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crackers Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Not so much lacquer peel, as lack'o'paint, but still, check that bonnet out. edit- and the top edge of the rear tub. Dyslexic Viking 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High Jetter Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 It is red! No peel as 1 pack, I think. Oxide fade though, colour-cut bought but not yet applied. You've seen my van? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would think that Vauxhall (or all manufacturers for that matter) would have sorted their paint out by now, mind you it is only a few years newer than a MK4 Astra which can have the same issue, late 90s, early 2000s VW shades of red can suffer from lacquer peel, ask me how I know AnnoyingPentium 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reb Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 There's hardly any lacquer left on the front of my Volvo. Sometimes when it's windy bits that are left come flying at the windscreen. cobblers, LightBulbFun, AnnoyingPentium and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angrydicky Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 @JackThrust that sir, is where it’s had that wing painted at some point and the paint has reacted with the primer, big time. JackThrust 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GR8 PL8 M8 Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 I know it's not lacquer peel as there was never a clearcoat, but check out the paint fade on this Astra! That said, the spoiler does appear to have some sort of peeling action going on... AnnoyingPentium, LightBulbFun, bunglebus and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
