I know this is not a specialist car forum. But can anyone tell me what went wrong?
My daughter's Skoda has this horrible lacquer peel. So we / she decided to respray some parts of the car. The paint was sanded down often to bare metal. We used spray cans and started with primer / filler, then used the car's base coat and clear lacquer. The lacquer was Simmonez.
The panels were cleaned with alcohol wipe and a tack cloth before spraying.
The layers had time to cure.
It looked good, but after a few weeks cracks and small rings started to appear. The rings seemed to come after rain falls. The cracks just developed.
Very disappointed. At first I tried to polish it out and it worked for some small rings and minor cracks, but the cracks started to look likesome planetary rifts.
We also did the mirrors and I think it was a different clear lacquer. They are still o.k.
