I just got my K11 home and decided I needed to fix the paint work quickly, would I need to respray this or is there any other way to fix it?

 

[K11_Micra_Lover]

That's the paintwork

People have said T cut would that work

looks like lacquer peeling.

You'll need to sand off the flakey clear coat with a high grade (1000, 2000) sandpaper and then spray new clear. Just be careful as the color coat on the Micra is very thin and will sand through to primer quickly

And no, tcut will not work you'll still see the night difference between cleared and non cleared

 

[K11_Micra_Lover]

So just sand her down and put new clear coat on her?

I think I'll just get her resprayed professional as I want her looking good

That's what I did. Both bumpers, front wings and door handles were £360. Mine was metallic so cost slightly more.

Where did you get yours done?

 

[Agent_Sm1th]

Castleton motor bodies.

 

[K11_Micra_Lover]

Is that in England or northern Ireland?

 

[Agent_Sm1th]

England.

 

[K11_Micra_Lover]
