My 91 300d I bought with a strange paint failure on the trunk. It’s a fairly constrained area, wondering if maybe the car got hit with an egg or something.
There are a couple other scratches with surface rust too.
While I’ll probably end up painting the car, I want to sort it out and do other things first. Painting is a $2000+ job that can wait. But I do want to stabilize these spots.
Hoping that with white paint maybe I can blend it kind of/sort of? Though I’m not all that keen on removing lots of paint, as I assume that if I have different areas with different number of layers of paint, that it will affect the look of a repaint, or require a lot more prep (?).
Here are the spots:
The bottom picture by the windshield seal worries me a bit because there’s a bit of a vein under the paint. These windshields are glued in AFAIK, not the old school press in/rope seal type.
Thoughts on best practices?
I’m looking to stabilize until the time comes that I repair/repaint the car. I anticipate that the car will see sun and rain, but I won’t be using it in salt conditions.
