Jazzy paint job
Asked by Ron Xuereb
About three years ago I noticed the paint on the roof and top of the guards and doors of my wife's 2003 Honda Jazz was turning white. Two years ago my local Honda dealer told me that as the car was out of warranty there was nothing I could do. Isn't it reasonable to expect that I would not have to re-spray it at a cost of over $4000? The car has always been garaged and polished twice a year. The front bar and bonnet were re-sprayed after it was damaged when it was a year old and that paint still looks like new.

13 May 2010An experienced painter suggests you have it cut-and-polished, which should restore the colour, and then polish every six to eight weeks with a good polish like Meguiar's Wet Look to maintain it. He also suggests that the reason the bumper and bonnet look better than the original factory paint is that the repairer simply did a better job than the factory did originally.
