Paint Discoloration
Posted: Thu Jun 20, 2002 7:38 pm
To any car painting experts on the LIST:
I have an 8 yr old dark metallic lacquer paint job. It has been "dulled" by fuel escaping from a faulty cork seal at the filling port. When the paint surface is wet with water or detailer etc. the dulling disappears and there is no evident discoloration! Thus, there has not been a tonal/hue change. Only a surface change. I'm told that a current non-solvent clear-coat cannot be applied over the existing solvent-based coating to remove this dulling. Will application of multi-layers of carnauba wax resolve the problem or is there another option (other than new paint)?
