PAINT PROBLEM...Ahhhhh!!!
PAINT PROBLEM...Ahhhhh!!!
Has anyone else had trouble with their paint peeling off??? I washed my car this morning and when I sprayed the hood a 6 inch strip of paint came off!! Now I noticed that right below the hatch on the back I have no paint what so ever!!! Ahhhhh! I dont have time to have it painted right now, so is there any way to stop it for the time being? I have to do something.. Someone actually pulled up next to me earlier and asked me if it was a Chevy!! <P>Please help before I go postal!

What color is your car? I have a --slight-- paint peel problem around the hatch and passenger side rear bumper cover, only because it's been repainted and wasn't clear coated. Heh.<P>If the car is silver, it's gonna peel/fade anyways -- it's just the way silver paint goes. Why else don't you see many decent silver paint jobs? :p

I have a white 92 RS and have had to repaint the same spot on the hatch..plus the passenger door and part of the paint above the dirvers door. You are in the same boat I was. Mine is repainted now.

i was told by a dealer that around 92 mazda was playing with some new paint additives that made the paint extreamly hard but it made it not bound to the metal as well. dont know if its true but sound like a good explanation.

Re: PAINT PROBLEM...Ahhhhh!!!
To keep it from flaking any more, you can use CLEAR fingernail polish. Put a good coat of CLEAR nail polish on the edges of the paint (so it is sealed and cannot flake anymore. It will Look Pretty bad, but it should help to keep the paint from coming off any more in that area. At any rate, you will need a new paintjob to make it look good again. The Nail polish trick works pretty well on TINY areas (especially ones that are not in the middle of the hood or something). Like I said, it will look relly bad, but it will keep it from getting worse.

Re: PAINT PROBLEM...Ahhhhh!!!
My first MX3 was green and the entire hood was peeling off. One of my friends had this habit of peeling it off if she was standing outside my car. I just about bit her head off for it quite a few times. Then I got in a wreck and wound up with a new MX3. So, although I do sympathize, I dont have the solution. Sorry man.
