Clear Coat is totally F****d up. - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

FRiSson · 10-03-2013, 03:23 PM

All the various droppings, seeds etc... have left numerous marks on my clearc oat, even after careful washing. The hard to see and photograph, they appear as slightly more whitish blobs than the background clear coat, kind of like stains. I have never had this happen on a car before.

Why is this under recalls/TSBs?

Razz · 10-03-2013, 03:42 PM

Because they didn't make a seperate thread for warrenty/recalls.

They added issues to the thread title.

This is an issue.

It would be nice if it was seperate as in most forums.

Normal.

tech4pdx · 10-03-2013, 04:31 PM

It is clearly NOT normal, but it is the subpar quality of Subaru paint.

ubersoph · 10-03-2013, 04:35 PM

Uh... normal. Just clean up the crap/etc before it etches the paint. Only thing you can do to address this.

Normal quality of Subaru paint then. You happy?

Repaint it, wait a few weeks then opticoat it. Our detailer does an amazing job on Opticoating

Sounds like an extremely expensive solution to a factory issue.

Try taking to the dealership you bought it from. Maybe they will/won't laugh at you.

Repainting isnt cheap, lucky for me i got half my car repainted after an accident, and that paint held up nicely. Another thing you can do is detail it, and opticoat or clearbra it.

Draco-REX · 10-03-2013, 05:16 PM

Have a detailer give it a full correction. Then, I'm told Opticoat helps with stuff like this, maybe get that done to the car after.
