Hello all,
I am new to this forum, just bought my first GTI last week. 2007 Fahrenheit GTI with 105k, stock. Only thing that is really bothering me is the clear coat is peeling off the roof and hood of the car. It is much worse on the roof, with a couple spots about the size of a small hand right in front of the sunroof. The hood has some quarter size and smaller spots with missing clear coat. Apparently whoever drove this vehicle liked to tailgate people or the roads in AL must have been just awful. (There are MANY paint chips as well, some down to the metal).
So, what do you guys suggest? If I want the roof repainted, is the entire vehicle going to need to be repainted or can just a section of a panel be touched up? I will try to post some pictures later.
