bonnet scoop peeling
 

bought my wrx (my99) late last year and i saw the bonnet scoop was peeling (rest of the cars paint was fine)... it seems like a coat of plastic as it is clear. looks pretty tacky. just wondering if anyone has experienced this and how much it would cost to get it re painted.

I haven't experienced that personally. Maybe someones dodgey job of trying to repaint themselves. I would say $100-$200 should get you a nice respray from a panel beaters.

yeah i have noticed the clear coat on my 99 has peeled slightly in the corners of the bumper. im going to have mime touched up when the car comes back from the workshop. ill let you know how much it costs.

Yeah mate, just a dodgy spray job. maybe they didnt use plastic primer, although i would expect the colour and clear to peel if they did that.

not an expert on prices, but shouldnt be more than a few hundred bucks if its a standard colour.
maybe get some dents/scratches touched up at the same time, they should give you a good deal when doing more work.

No, not neccessarily a dodgy re-spray...peeling paint on scoops (and rear spoilers) of MY 98,99,00 is quite common...even on cars which have been reasonably maintained.

My GC8 definately didnt have a resprayed scoop and the clear coat started peeling off that and i used to wash a wax that car all the time.

I've also seen a few with it peeling off the vents on the bonnet.

my gdb scoop needed a respray.
$240 from a mob in ozzy park.

:eek: just for a fuckin respray!!! ...i got my whole sti GDB scoop for less than that painted !....give brendan at the spoiler shop a call he is also on the forums here as BrennyV so maybe pm him pretty sure it can be done cheaper than $240....

my spoiler is doing that, and i think there are a couple of spots over the car starting to do it as well..

$240 for a scoop.. id hate to see what mine would cost :icon_sad:

yer spoke to brendan b4 ...he said 150ish for painting and refitting ....best give him a call to see exactly what can be done ..

spoiler should be aound 200-250 to paint ..
