hello, made a bit of a mistake, had my landy in my workshop and was doing some grinding and all the sparks when all over the bonnet and now are melted into the paint :mad:. Foolish mistake. what can i do about it now?? all the bits have metal have now rusted so i have hundreds of tiny rust marks on my bonnet!
 
I find the best thing is to pour a litre of sulphuric acid over the bonnet - that eats away the steel sparks, then a bit of time with T-cut and it looks bootiful.:D
 
thanks for the reply. do you just get the sulphuric acid out of an old battery? that only eats away at the steel sparks? and not the paint? Thanks again
 
nope - Sulphuric acid eats away at steel, aluminium, paint, flesh - yu name it.

DO NOT USE! it wasnt meant as a realistic sulution - have yu tried T-cut ?
 
to quote other peeps...

FFS - its a deepender - its meant to look rusty - it adds Character!




it was just meant to be a caustic remark - ho ho ho

just summat a cid!

i had a burning desire to help ya!!

any more? Slob?
 
well i did think that at first, but then i thought i normally get a lot of useful help on this forum so i wont question it! is there anything i can actually do? even wet n dry will bugger the paint up wont it?
 
depends how thick yer paint is and how deep the marks are.
you might be looking at a complete rub-down and re-spray.
 
thur is an acid you can use but i can't remember what its called.
i used to live near a foundry and the **** that came out the chimmy used to burn it to yer paintwork.
as they reckoned they was within all legal do-dahs fer emisshuns it wur up to us to sort it. after a gaggle of us went round to the council offices ,the nice man at the council gave us all a bottle of this power stuff that you had to mix wiff water when you washed yer car.
it disolved the metal particles, then you had to give it a good waxin to help prevent it happening again

Hi ff I had this problem with a wagon at work a few weeks ago, it may not have been as bad as yours sounds but I shifted 90% with t-cut so it may be worth a try good luck.
