Car Roof Blisters

IMO
Planning to sell - Php 2,500.00 paint
Planning to keep - strip to metal paint

Be ready to spend more if you decide the "strip to metal" option, based on my personal experience, you might be surprised with the amount of rust you'll see after removing the paint.

like i said, iyong iba ang binibili nilang roof cut may amenity na na sun/moon roof na oem from japan. iyong iba naman plain jdm roofcut lang

actually, kung may option na ganito, mas maganda. imagine, pwede ka na ng may sun or moon roof.
kaya lang, dapat maganda pagkakagawa, otherwise, tutulo sa loob yan pag umuulan.

agree..to add.
sa akin, kung strip to metal, mas maganda kung ipabuo na yung entire body, para mas maganda tignan.

Kung buong body... Maghanda ka nang Php 25-35k pero kung strip to metal mas mataas ang presyo nyan

Things to think about...

(if your car is your daily drive)

If you "strip to metal" and paint the roof (only), 6 months to 1 year later, the paint will fade and will not match you car's body...

Change the entire roof...

(1) it will affect the "structural integrity" of the car, lets face it, our mechanics will use acetylene (welding) which is not as good as what Honda would use.
(2) paint issues mentioned above...
(3) acetylene welded parts will rust faster than usual.

cover ba ng warranty ung roof blisters??
dahil bilad sa araw ang parking?

**rodetor** · June 29th, 2016 04:55 PM

If it is still new, less than 3 years of age, from the date of purchased, it should be warranty covered. Regardless whether always nakabilad sa araw o inu-ulanan.

yup sir.
ung auto ko not more than 1year p lng po.
how to determine if its blisters?
nung pinunasan ko po kasi natanggal ung pintura..

nung dinala ko sa malapit na casa, ang sabi.stone chip scratch daw po un..
mainly galling daw sa gulong ng mga truck at SUV..

What brand is your unit? Natanggal ang pintura, as in natukplap? Blisters or bulutong, ay sanhi ng rust, covered underneath its paint. If the metal sheet is rusted, and not treated to be remove before it was cover by paint, the rust expands and bloat the paint above it. Ang mga SA talaga ng Casa, igagawa talaga nila ng palusot. Paano naman nila na determine na stone chiped ang naging sanhi nyan?

stones do not cause paint blisters. consider instead, poor paint technique, or paint incompatibility.
stones only chip away at paint.

errr... when we say, "not more than one year", do we mean, the car is less than a year old from brand new? or are we refering to the paint only? i.e., is the paint in question, factory paint, or re-paint?

if factory original paint, then there are express warranties regarding that, sir.
if re-paint, there are also warranties for that, which will probably vary, depending on the shop that did it.
