Can't thankyou enough Dave for restoring this little family heirloom, it's now going to the 3rd generation & it's been so good to us. The old man who is now passed on would be so happy to see this. The end result is amazing! Thanks again Dave...

Love how you used the MCM "this, this and this, that" bit. Dave, ya one of the OG and I am glad you are still doing vids.

Love what you said about how a car can be a bit more. So often people discard them when they stop being so "pretty" when you forget what a useful little piece of our lives they have been. I dig the "Treat them right". Very cool !

[zuilok]

Does this still count as clearcoat repair when you´ve basically resprayed the whole car?

[Spiritof_]

Sand the whole car, mask it off, paint it. Yup, that fixed the clearcoat peeling problem 100%.

Honestly, I would’ve feathered out the peeling clear, and if it needed a bit of primer to be even, I would’ve spot primed with primer I tinted red. Then I would’ve blended the color across those spots, and cleared the affected panels.
This was a complete repaint.

Your vidoes are unreal mate, on behalf of the DIY community thank you and keep them coming.

Your videos alone are professional quality- and great work! That is a fantastic result for a “quick job”- i think it is better than a lot of shops do on their best work!!

[xbzuzuj]

Such an awesome channel. I think I watch your videos for around 10 years now!

I so much enjoyed watching this little car restored to its glory. I myself have a 21 year old car which I can’t let go of, might have to bring it to you to restore it one day!

Got a red Alfa 147 with just this issue on the bonnet. Can’t hurt to give this a go, great vid!

[howardlake]

Amazing video. I invented car park car washing in 1985, and washing a red Vauxhall Royale, I think you call a Holden Commodore Coupe. The bonnet paint, disappeared. The owner was very understanding! I was 13! Never…wash red, burgundy, purple and to be safe, blue cars on a hot day. The refractive index of water changes dramatically at high temperatures, and I say it’s water that causes lacquer peel, not rays

They're actually pretty fun cars to drive compared to the other small non sport cars. They also have huge space inside. Great job painting it 👍🏽👍🏽

[robsnizzle]

Yup, my '05 LEXUS IS300 is doing EXACTLY THAT. Live in NORTHERN CALIFORNIA and it's gets up to 110°F/43°C, and its just blasted the old clearcoat on my car.... shame too, was in really good shape when I'd gottin it. This helps alot.... last coup.e vids I've watched helped me knock out couple paint project.. thanks man.🤙😎

[AndyRRR]

This generation Mazda 2 is a hoot to drive. They have a great, well balanced chassis that can be thoroughly exploited for a lot of fun in the twisties.

[JamesDavis-cfbb]

Good content. Paint guys rarely tell the story. I like that addition at the end.

[paulbudford]

Great job.
That UV filler is a game changer.

[Tantobladepd]

What an amazing job, and really not that costly with a bit of time and effort

I've got a 1989 Fiat Uno I bought for £250! as a cheap little car and 13 years later its still here. Me an this car have been through good times and bad, it's took me to work in all weathers even through snow, on nights out, road trips with friends, grocery shopping, it's moved furniture and even been around a race track.
Everything I could ever ask of a car it's done it, it's recently got back on the road after a few years having had some major work to the body.
But the Uno 100% deserved it, as its the best way I could say thanks to the little car that could.

I have a red Citroen C1, and are notorious for clear peel. Got my front and rear bumper to do soon.
Great video 🤙🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿
