    The front of our Peugeot 206 is/has since we got it, been all chipped and bubbling up. I'm convinced that since it's last service, where it got a wash, more of the paint was chipped off. Anyway, looking at the attached pics, how would one go about a respray of the "grille"? Now, I probably won't end up doing this myself. I'm assuming that what's there will be sanded back to the base coat, which can be seen as a different tone of red. What I was wondering is, could this stuff be used to respray it? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Peugeot-Diablo-Red-150ml-Aerosol-Paint-/180434722908?pt=UK_Car_Accessories_Car_Care_Cleaning&hash=item2a02bf605c
    It's the proper colour - diablo red. Would a laquer coat not be needed above it. The car could possibly be sold within the coming months, so we just want it to look better than what it is at the moment.

    probably bits of lacquer causing you to cough :)

    for the grill do it yourself rub it down and buy a tin of spray in correct colour and mask off every where else a few coats should do it

    leave the bits under the light alone

    other option is bring it to a spray shop for a quote but I doubt it will be cost effective

    It would be easier to work on if you take the grill off the car but it's possible to do it on it.

    sand the area and remove any lose paint you want it to be totally smooth
    the sanded surface will provide a key to allow new paint to stick to.

    any defect will show up so you will need to ensure you have sanded it correctly. if you have sanded below the undercoat or use filler then will need to use some primer before spraying on top coat.

    take your time and make sure you mask off the areas that you want to keep paint free. 90% of the work is the preparation work. the last 10 is the final spray. you will get away without using lacquer spray but if you where to lacquer you could do this when the paint has hardened.

    nothing looks worse than over spray so mask off well and cover area light headlights bumper bonnet .

    I would leave the parts under the headlight alone as colour matching is very hard and is noticeable when you can see panels touching.
    the grill will be fine because is doesn't touch bonnet or bumper so a slight difference in colour won't be noticed.
