Thread: Clear Coat Problem

Not sure what year model you have but with most manufacturer's the paint and corrosion warranty extends longer that the ordinary vehicle warranty does.

Hope this is the case for you, because the only fix is a respray.

It's a 99 Defender Extreme so I doubt that any warranty applies

Well, a re-spray it is !

You could slow the spread of the peeling by using some pressure pack clear to seal the edges of the peeling. A little bit of a rub with some 1200 wet-n-dry, spray the on clear to stop the weather getting in and that will slow it considerably.

But nothing will beat a respray !

How long is this period? The roof on my 06 Defender is delaminating.

Hi

Reckon that unless you have had it from new the paint won't be a LR problem, rather a repair problem. Not that that will help.

Even from new can be a problem, damage in transit is "fixed" by LRA. On my D2 found out later that the whole of one front guard and possibly front door had been repainted before delivery. LRA and/or dealer aren't going to tell you.

Cheers

The other issue is the vehicle has to be inspected by LR once a year or the warranty does not apply.

This is in the hand book.

You may also have to pay for the inspection.

Hells bells! Its a defender! dents scratches, dings panels missing, etc are all "character" lines to it! a little clear coat peel ? lol A spray can and a bit of sand paper.
