LJ_GQV 115 Report post Posted April 8, 2012 Anyone know a way of me either covering this over or doing something to stop it getting worse? I dont use a pressure washer on it at all but water is getting under it and its getting worse Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Smaky 73 Report post Posted April 9, 2012 Basically it's a strip and repray job, powder coating looks nicer but enamaling is more hard wearing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LJ_GQV 115 Report post Posted April 9, 2012 yea, theres no point me taking them off for no reason. looks a bit shit but it'll probly be expensive 'ish' to do anyway id guess Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smiffy 99 Report post Posted April 9, 2012 yeah would of thought so, then you need to get the alfa sticker as well Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Smaky 73 Report post Posted April 11, 2012 You could for now just peel that bit of laquer to prevent any more moistre getting under and freezing at night, which is what is making the area grow. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LJ_GQV 115 Report post Posted April 11, 2012 I'll do that then, cheers smaky Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dave 0 Report post Posted April 11, 2012 Trim the flakey bit back, maybe gently with a craft knife, then touch up with clear nail varnish ? Just an idea. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LJ_GQV 115 Report post Posted April 11, 2012 I did do that on some paint lacquer on my old 147, it started to peel just under the rear light, not sure how hot the actual caliper would get though & if it would go funny Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
