SupraStar 3000 Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 I've noticed the paint blistering about the size of a 50p just above windscreen sealent on the drivers side. Its hasn't lifted yet, just started to blister. Anyone know a rough idea of what it might cost to fix and spray considering the window may need removing. I have no idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Exactly where my NA went I was advised I'd need to spray the whole roof for a proper match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraStar 3000 Posted January 4, 2006 Author Share Posted January 4, 2006 doesn't sound good Did you have it done mate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 No. My best advice is get it treated now though. From enquiries I made expect about 200 quid or so of bodywork plus the windscreen in/out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supRo Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Repairing roof area paint is tricky. Get a free quote from one of the mobile chip repairers - they may be able to repair it. Otherwise it'll have to be the whole roof and rear quarter re spray - not cheap. Upto £700 from a good bodyshop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carl0s Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 no mate, the windscreen is original and have had no problems I wonder what makes them blister there then.. I saw the blister on Petes car and it was quite noticable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraStar 3000 Posted January 4, 2006 Author Share Posted January 4, 2006 duno mate, I thought maybe a paint and moisture reaction from a stone chip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraStar 3000 Posted January 14, 2006 Author Share Posted January 14, 2006 well,. Central Cars say probably around the £200/300 mark although he didn't say if that was a window out jobbie. I need to take the car in next weekend to see if he can give me an accurate quote. He did say from the brief description I had given him he thought it maynot be rust and more likely a moisture problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suprasport Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 you definately do not need windscreen out unless rust has gone right down beneath the rubbers, 3m do a tape that pulls back the rubber so it can be sprayed under it, works really good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraStar 3000 Posted January 14, 2006 Author Share Posted January 14, 2006 So I was about right then Strange thing to say as moisture problems = rust. think he's on about moisture and paint reaction rather than body work/rust. Paint is a complete mystery to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
