Paanong faded? Namutla o kupas na? Or marami lang swirl marks? Is it single stage paint or may clear coat? Marami possibilities. Kung may clear coat pa yan and faded lang dahil sa gasgas, kaya yan ng claybar + compounding + polishing + glazing + sealing. Kung single stage yan, baka kailangan ng ipa-hilamos.

Di ko kilala yang Mothers shop na yan, but I do like Mothers brand of products. Is the shop officially affiliated with Mothers? Maganda yung three step process ng Mothers (polish+glaze+wax) and especially yung step 3 na carnauba wax.

Kupas na sya. Iba na sa kulay ng ibang surface ng hood. Ganun din sa roof, may mga portion na kupas na. Parang dull, cloudy, grey na sya. Baka ito na yung single stage?? Baka ito narin yung na-oxidized na paint. Hindi ko pa napupuntahan yung shop, pero dito din sa tsikot ko sya nabasa. Daan ako bukas at mag inquire ng 3-step mothers.

Thanks!

Its a 97 pizza mitsu lancer. Sorry wala akong available pics. Sa labas lang din ang parking kaya rain, bird drops, uv rays salong salo nya

Never bothered sa paint nya until now. Gusto ko i-diy sya. Sana masave ko paint nya at mabigyan din ng protection man lang.

Thanks!

The car is almost 20 years old and is not protected against the elements. I suspect those faded parts are already damaged paint and would require repainting.

Bring you car to a detailing shop. They can easily tell if they can fix your paint by full detailing or not.

Napalitan na paint nya from its original paint. i think naka 5yrs na new color nya pero hindi rin namaintain ng maayos e. Thanks, malapit din ako sa Big Berts yun yata kilala sa detailing.

It could be kumupas na yung single stage paint, or oxidized yung clearcoat.

Big Bert's ok. Dun ako nagpapa-paint sealant and full detailing. Masyado matrabaho eh. I can do the occasional wash+claybar+wax, pero kung aabutin ako ng maghapon, sa professional ko na lang ipapagawa.

BTW, Big Bert does not do repainting. When inquiring, ask them point-blank kung ano ang cause ng discoloration at kung kaya nila ibalik sa dating kintab at kulay. Otherwise, they might assume na ok lang sayo ang best effort nila, even if di kakayanin sa buffing and polishing ang paint problem mo. Remember that they are a business after all. As long as matino pa ang pintura, may magagawa pa sila, otherwise baka sa iba ka na lang pumunta. So, just inquire without committing.
