- I have a '90 Stanza (made/assembled in USA, purchased new 2 years ago) that
- has 'soft' paint. It is as if the paint had never cured properly. For
- example, the pressure applied by the return string on a gas pump hose was
- enough to cause the smooth surface of the nozzle handle to remove a chunk
- of paint. This same phenomenon has resulted in numerous stone chips in
- front (more than any car I've ever owned) and chips on the door edges.
-
- For the most part, these chips are on galvanized sheet metal, so there
- is almost no rust associated with them (yet!). However, I am not sure
- about how to go about repairing the existing nicks and preventing new ones.
- I am fairly handy (a former boat mechanic), but have almost no experience
- with body work.
-
- Any suggestions/ideas are more than welcome.
-
- Thanks!
