Any ideas on sorting out lacquer peel on k11 roof?

[scorps]

Hi,
Going to look at a 2002, 1 liter k11 s for sale that has lacquer peel round the edges of the roof. The rest of the car apart from the boot and bonnet that also suffers with peel is in good order. 70,000 miles on the clock and 6 months MOT. He wants £550 but I am not sure what it would take to sort out the roof. Anyone have an idea of what it would take to sort out the roof or what the car should be worth? Or should i just avoid like the plague , or should I say covid Many thanks in advance for any input.

Cheers for that. Took a while to reply as this micra owner has only just sold the car due to emigrating. Got him down to £450 delivered, which is no mean feat these days for a rust free k11. It has had a new clutch tyres and caliper done.
The lacquer peel is the least of any problems as the rest has been done.
getting harder to find a rust free decent micra now for under £500. I been looking for six months and this was the the most rust free and unwelded of the four I have looked at. Thanks again for the input.

Could always get the roof vinyl wrapped gloss black?

If it is non welded non rusted running fine, spend the coins

Yea. Good point.One with 20k less and good laqcuer just sold for double at £900 on ebay, so it is still a good investment.
