    Little problem :(

    Hey guys,

    I finally decided to take my black racing stripes off the car as i was getting sick of them. I heated the sticker up and it came loose straight away, however it was a **** quality sticker and now has peeled up my clearcoat on roof and bonnet Do you guys think its worth having a panelbeater have a look at it and re-clearcoat it if possible or just put another stripe over it? Im am on a budget and dont have too much to spend at the moment Here some pics:

    I think the whole car will have to be rubbed back and re clear coated. You could try to polish up the part where the clear coat is missing, it will be less noticable that way untill you have the funds to re-clear coat the car.

    Did you try giving it a cut/polish/wax, maybe that'll help

    clear coat issue

    If you are on a tight budget why not just leave it until you can afford to get it re cleared. Short of fixing it properly or fresh stickers (both of which cost money) it sounds like living with it for the short term might be a good option.
