paint issues

Gilbey · 2015-03-31 23:17:50

Recently bought a small car and the old man that owned it decided that it would be a great idea to touch up some of the paint work with a spray can...Some parts of the car look patchy when the sun shines on it. Car is metallic black any way of restoring it??, Thanks

Machine polishing it may make it look a little less patchy, but in reality it will need a repaint.

Depends on the type of spray paint used. I managed to remove the spray paint from this car with tar remover. the paint had been on for years and stiff came off. The car was machine polished afterwards.

Sometimes even simpler solutions work
