Default Lacquer peeling.......anyone else?

Mine went quite badly on my scoop: '98 UK car, 559 Bright Red.

I had it re-sprayed.

I USED to have 22B vents, but sold them and replaced them with the originals. Before I went away I'd noticed some bits peeling on those. NOW they have almost completely lost the lacquer.

Shall I have THOSE resprayed too, or do them myself satin black all over?

Any ideas?

Seems common on classic scoops. I've got two like it.

I'll blame FHI in 1998 then. They were on the car from new, removed for eight years, kept in a plastic bag in a cupboard in the garage, refitted about three years ago.

So only actually been subject to sun etc for about six years total

Mine is going as well so I'd be interested to hear how much?

As the bonnet and bumper has a few stone Chips i was thinking of getting it all done. But have to consider value of a my00 with 85k and not spend too much !

Thanks

Steve..

Asked around and £50 seems the going rate.

That's a lot of money for two little bits. And yes, I realise that there would be no little work involved, it's just that the bits are so small.

I think Satin Black might get an outing.
