Paint clear-coat (?) chipping/flaking

[SvenG]

We 'just' came back from an epic 6850 mi roadstertrip from Florida to Colorado and back, meandering all over the place. It was great !!

Now I'm inspecting and wondering what to do with some of the road dings in the paint after some of the worst 80 mph stretches. I have ding touch-up paint that I was going to fix the older dings with, but those smaller dings didn't start flaking off what looks like a clear-coat over the Altantic Blue and I don't think I could do a very good job with the two 1+ cm dings that I'm most concerned with.

Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated. Maybe there is a clear-coat ding repar paint too that I should be applying over a first Atlantic Blue pain repair ?

Thanks.

Looks like a job for a body shop to me Sven. Glad you had an epic road trip mate.

I'm no expert but strongly suspect the laquar has gone so will need flattng back and painting. At @Sean d is our on site paint guru.

That must have been some road trip Sven and a few bits of road rash wouldn't spoil it for me. Best of luck with the repairs

Thanks for the replies.

I was hoping that there was a simpler answer, but ...

Yes, the roadstertrip was great, more than half with the top down. No issues other than the dings.

I should put up a summary.

Hi Tony,

Glad you had an epic road trip mate.

Speaking of which, are you on this side of the Atlantic yet ?
