my car is not that bad, but it half of that :frown:

sand, prep, paint

its called oxidization. i had it on my trans am on the driver's door. dont know what to do for it though.

Yeah, that's happening to my sister's Eclipse as well. Besides the paint being old, I don't know why it happens....maybe because we washed her car with dish soap back then because we didn't know better. When that happens, it's probably just best to get a new paint job. I hope my car doesn't do that...

Yep, paint job...take it to the body shop.

not the car paint, but the fade thing around the window
can that be fixed

I don't believe that can be fixed. 3SX Performance sells replacement garnishes. The other option would be getting new garnishes from a dealer like Rockville Mitsubishi (aka Mitsupartsdirect.com).

replacement garnishes? pshaw. just paint it.

Actually, there might be something for it. My jeeps fender flares were starting to fade out, so i looked up something for that, and there was a cream made to refurnish it, and they seem to both be made out of the same thing, so it might work. I'll see if i can find what that stuff is called.

well, this stuff is to make it black, so i dont know how dark you want it, but here's the link

ohhhhh I thought you meant the paint fade....yeah that stuff comes out easy. It's just oxidation, comes out with rubbing compound, go buy a can and get to scrubbin it'll be back to it's original color!

thanx learnin form everyone advice i think i will be able to fix it. I might buy this product http://autozone.com/servlet/UiBroker?UseCase=C001&UserAction=performMoreDetail&Parameters=FALSE%7C%7EWaxes+%26+Polishes%7C%7ENONE %7C%7EMeguiar%60s+++++++++++++++++++++++++++Cleane r+Wax+-+Paste%7C%7ENONE%7C%7EFALSE%7C%7EFALSE%7C%7E-1%7C%7E3367%7C%7EA-1214%7C%7ENONE%7C%7ENONE%7C%7ENONE%7C%7ENONE%7C%7E NONE%7C%7ENONE%7C%7ENONE%7C%7ENONE%7C%7EN%7C%7EMQR %7C%7Etrue

Yeah my car has that bad on the roof and the hood... what you buff it with is just called a compound... thats what the paint shop calls it. a-z has it and what not... but yours looks beyond help...

shit.... i just bought a product like that it doesnt help but it does help you in another way like those water mark that doesnt come out of your car paint

that not my car and am not talkin about the paint

Wax wont do it, you need to get it buffed with compound, and even then it may be too late. The black molding, I would guess is done for. You can buy 'renewing' products...but generally they only bring it back to 'life' for a week tops.

I would post this is hte detailing section under 'cars in general' and ask for some professionals opinions. Just my .02

paint it or replace it. thats all i do to my car. Ive repainted my windsheild wiper arms, front grille. the renewing stuff doesnt work on this type of problem.

isnt it just the clear coat coming off thats oxidizing?

hope this link helps, I did it on my head light worked well.
