oxidized paint? Options

[cwlevie21]

if this is even oxidized paint or not is there a way i can buff it out or somethin, or do i just need a new paint job? i think its cause the person who had it b4 me never washed it and let it sit in the sun to long w/e it was wet...? when i scratch the white lookin stuff it seems like it comes off but that would take forever and idk if im makin it worse or not...

they make chemicals that eat away the top layer of paint. I dont recomend this for other parts of the car. I'm assuming the old paint is not salavagable.

after you use it. you need to wash it off and use sealer and wax to buff it back to a shine.

It wont look like clear coat. But I wont be as ugly.

would this work for severe oxidation? I'm thinking it would only work for the beginning stages of oxidation where only your clear coat is gone.

it depends on the chemical, and if there is still your orginal paint under the oxidation. I mean it wont work if your paint has oxidize all the way to the primer.

And if its bad enough you can do a second or third coat of it, maybe let it sit for a couple minutes. But remember this stuff is very harmful to paint. Dont use it too often or it will eventually eat all your paint up.

maybe I'll give it a try. I'll be repainting the car anyway so I have nothing to lose. it can't look any worse then it already does. I'm through all the coats of clear and like 1-2 of the base color coats. I can still see green but it's a lot darker than the rest of the car.
