Someones Scratched my Corrado!!!
« on: 18 January 2005, 16:43 »
After the crappy weather, I thought I better clean the salt and road muck off the Corrado. When I dried it off I could see a load of scratches across my newly painted bonnet! I was mortified, having just spent a large wedge on repairs and a respray. It looks like Torvill and Dean have been practising bloody figure skating across the top of it!

Fortunatly, because the respray is only a month old, I was able to use some cutting compound and remove it all. I'm just feeling "a bit annoyed" that some little Oik decided my bonnet was the place vent some frustration! :angry:

Couldn't be cat claw marks or bird scratches could it ? The cats in my neighbourhood like to sit on my bonnet when I get home from work while the engine is still warm. Chase them off though and the claws come out, scrambling for grip !

I don't think so, mostly long single scratches, but there was an area that looked like it had been attacked by some glass paper.

Maybe the spray shop forgot to add the last coat and it had been flattened down ready? :laugh:
