Matt While this does show the benefit of a paint depth gauge, it's the first time I've seen a DA burn through the paint. As Si has said, it must have been really thin in that area before you went at it
stokie Sjdickso said: As you found out no clear coat, hence he reason they oxidise so quick when not treated, only thing I can say is possibly its been mopped before and the paint was very thin in the area. Really unlucky though. very unlucky why would vauxhall not put clear coat on a car

stokie evocarlos said: is it the right paint code ? just check 1st i only looked for the touch up pen to see if it had a top coat in the kit can you tell me if it is the right code because i aint got a clue what i am looking at
evocarlos 547 🙂 the touch up pen i linked to is 547 also know as 79L, 79U not sure if the Y in your code is used mine is done by the three numbers (163 = 4AU)
evocarlos stokie said: Ok I will try it and see how it goes after some google foo y547 magma red L547 Flame red this system wont list L or Y only 547 and there both the same color http://www.paints4u.com/paintdoctor.aspx
stokie Ok thanks for all your help I am going to get a couple touch up pens and I am going to have another go tomorrow
stokie Well today I had another go with the da and it went a lot better but I only had enough time to do half my car
