My Skunk was painted 13 years ago and this winter the micro-blisters started to appear. Sadly it's now covered in them.

I think it was spending the last two years out in the elements. It did over-winter in my parents carport, but that's still very open. The good news is that my garage is now cleared and when the cars not being driven (which is the vast majority of it's life!) it's tucked up all dry and warm and out of the sunlight.

So it's time to get it resprayed. I really need a specialist who can advise on the cause of the micro-blisters and address the issues, rather than just giving it a blow over.

I'm in Southampton, so close to home would be good, but if I need to travel, I need to travel.

Has anyone had similar issues addressed successfully?

I’ve just had my Westfield repainted - body-off. It had been painted many years ago, but it was looking pretty shabby, with lots of star cracks, scuffs, stone chips etc. There was also some previous accident damage that had been quite poorly repaired. I also wanted to get rid of the many holes that had been drilled into the tub for various reasons over the years.

No problems with blisters though, but I would expect the body shop could cope with them.

Body shop is in Birmingham though…..

Any good bodyshop with an oven could sort it out for you,

First they dry sand off all the old paint back to bare, then low bake it over a weekend to get any moisture out of the fibreglass, once that is done they would then put on a sealer coat, and start building the surface back up ready for final paint.
