Chip on Roof?
 
Afternoon all,

motivated by the sunny weather (here in London) and fitting the new plates to the car, today i gave the CSL a good clean. In doing so i noticed the smallest of small chips on the roof. Probably a maximum of 1mm across.

Before it leads to bigger issues, what do i need to do to it? A touch of clear laquer?

Thanks

I'd get something done sooner rather than later, maybe like you say some lacquer or clear nail varnish maybe?

I had a 1mm chip which can be seen in this pic:

It ended up like this after some water got under the lacquer. :bigcry:

£1500 later:bigcry:and it has a new roof :thumbs:

That's my worry!

Will see if the Missus has some clear nail varnish, alternatively it'll be down to Halfrauds for some clear laquer tomorrow.

Can't the chip just be filled and then re-laquered - presumably if the carbon isn't damaged, this should be easy enough?

Pink you mean :hahaha:

use the lacquer that you get with the touch up kit if you dont have one get one cause you`ll need the touch up for the stone chips.

Yeah i noticed those as well when i was cleaning the car... Resigned to a front end respray at somepoint when i'll get some ventureshield or similar fitted too.

Will pick up a touch up kit and use that.

I have one small chip on my roof and it doesn't seem to cause any problems, I regularly now jet wash the car as well, I will check but from what I can see the lacquer hasn't been affected at all.

Robs getting a lot of bad :gayfight:press at the moment!
