How should I go about fixing this? Will the regular sand-spray-lacquer job do alright or not good enough?
I'm worried about the color match, otherwise I think it should be fine...
-
1.Put a Bra on it
or
2.Get another bonnet from a scrappy
That will be a pain in the arse to get anywhere near good mate

You're reading my mind, mate :D
I'm thinking about those 2 options, and bra sounds better to me, but is it suitable for every day use?
-
Mines on every day, no worries at all. Once a month I take it off and give the bonnet a polish & wax just to keep it clean under there!!
-
I vote for a new bonnet.. only what £20-30 instead of a bra which would cost more and cause more damage than good if not cleaned and let to get clogged up with rain!

I've offered him a new bonnet :grin:
I have a bra on my car as I do alot of motorway miles although I always forget to take it off so there's a lovely line across my bonnet now where the bra has been
-
Mmmm, what about if I spray it matt black?
It's gonna look mean :laugh:
-
have a similar issue with my bonnet after some massive pigeon took an enormous dump on my bonnet, took loads of laquer off when i cleaned it.
i might try carbon wrapping the bonnet to see what it looks like. I'll get a new bonnet if it looks :sick:

Actually carbon wrapping crossed my mind too, but I think it's a bit overpriced and might look chavish...

What about just wrapping in standard black vinyl?

In that case, I would rather spray it ;) But I will most likely just get a new bonnet in mystic blue. Also will be easier to sell the car later on, as matt black or carbon bonnet is not everyone's cup of tea.
-
Just get that new bonnet off Joe, it's not like he charges rip off prices....
-
I got myself a bonnet, which needs to be sprayed both sides.
The top is already primed, so just need to get the paint, spray it and job done. (btw, do you recommend VW, or Halfords is fine?)
What I want to know, is should I use some specific paint for spraying under the bonnet, or regular paint will be ok?

Absolutely gutted for you mate. :cry: Just taken off a MINT Mystic Blue bonnet off my Golf (to go Vento) and I'd have happily swapped with you as I'm only respraying a spare bonnet (a different colour) so I could have just as easilly used yours.
Unfortunately it fell over and has about three big dents in it from stones and a few other chips. :cry:
Same man.

Looks like I'm out of luck with these bonnets. Joe had a mystic blue bonnet for me too, and it fell down as well, lol
So what about the paint? Regular one is fine?
