Hello,
I'm now the proud owner of a 2006 Europa and loving the car.

I have found a very small area (3mm x 3mm) where it looks like a stone has chipped the lacquer.
My question is, what is the best thing to seal the lacquer to prevent more coming off ?

Thanks
Rich

Sorry can't help, but I'm a new europa owner too and found a wealth of help on the Facebook page for europas.

Hope this helps.

Welcome, Rich smile - as kazste says it's worth joining us on the Facebook group for the Europa S. Just the one stone chip? tongue out

Hi,
Thanks, I'm waiting for acceptance for the Facebook group.
The area with the lacquer missing is on the back wing and not the normal stone chip areas .

Hmm - a photo might help.

That's the sort of question it could be worth asking on SELOC as it's a general plastic-car-and-paint question - SELOC can be pants for Europa-specific knowledge as any Europa questions tend to get a bit lost in amongst all posts for the more common models, but has good general knowledge smile.

If you don't get approved on the facebook group in the next day or two I'll give Junks a nudge but I'm sure he'll check there or here at some point today smile.

Hi,
A photo of the small area



I've still not got access to the FB... Am I looking at the correct one?
