MeanGreenSwedeMachine Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 I recently bought a 99 S70T5. It was in pretty good shape, but I've been going through and taking care of a few things. Next on the list is this peeling clearcoat. Any options besides getting it repainted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Che'_Moderator Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 You can strip the clear and have it re-coated. Expect to pay about a grand though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too bad actually when you think of the amount of work involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeanGreenSwedeMachine Posted July 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 Yeah, please tell me that price is for the whole car. What about just the hood..and maybe that corner panel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about just the hood..and maybe that corner panel?Its not gonna match real well if you do spot panels. For just the hood though I would "guess" 200ish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeanGreenSwedeMachine Posted July 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 New York is a big state.I live here http://www.mapquest.com/maps?city=West+Sto...amp;geocode=ZIPI'm assuming this is a multi-day, or at least all day process. It'd be nice if I could drop it off at the bodyshop in town as opposed to driving to Ottawa or Syracuse and missing work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
