Is it on a replaceable panel?? Respray otherwise!
Happened on my Golf, although not to that extent, and could never get it back right again.

Holy shit balls!

Must be loads of diablo bonnets around, probably easiest to swap it for a better one.

Should have said you were flying from bristol, I could have dropped you off in your car and left it at mine, then picked you up again, i live 10mins from the airport lol
RE: Feckin Bird shit! - cully - 02-08-2013
hmmmm bugger its through the lacquer!
and ive found a shit on the roof too and thats through the lacquer aswell

You might get away with sanding back the laquer then re lacquering it. Might not be perfect after but will look better!
RE: Feckin Bird shit! - cully - 02-08-2013
yes may give that a go
flat back with 1000 grit then blast with halfords lacquer ?
never played with paintwork!

Yep that is exactly what i did with my rear panel between the boot and bumper. Obviously stop as soon as you start getting red on the paper. You will end up with a line around the area where you have flatted back but once you build up a few layers, it will disappear then leave to dry for a few days and flat back and polish.
RE: Feckin Bird shit! - Grant - 02-08-2013
You'll have a mare lacquering like that. When you flat it back after drying it will just flake at the corners. You would do better re-lacquering the whole panel unfortunately

Oh snap the left hand side of the car was caked in bird crap since I park under a tree washed it off today but seeing that I think I'll make more effort to keep it clean
RE: Feckin Bird shit! - martyn92 - 03-08-2013
Think im going to wash the car tomorrow after seeing that! That is so unlucky. Maybe polish/wax may help against further damage or happening again?
