Restoring Dull Paintwork? - audi80tdi
Hi all,

I have an Audi 80 1994 M reg. Its in a dark metallic graphite black kinda colour!!:) (dont know how to describe it exactly!)

The problem is all the car has got nice shiny paintwork bar one side!!! The drivers side. Both doors and the wing are dull anf flat, The colour has not faded but there is no shine on the paintwork. Im assuming this side may have been resprayed at some time???
Is it possible to bring shine into this side of the car to match the rest of it?
Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Did the resprayer forget to lacquer that side?

You will have to be careful as it is a metallic.

Halfords sell special metallic paint cutting paste.

Otherwise, it sounds a bit like a paint problem.

Before spending money and using loads of elbow grease, why don't you ask your local garage their view?
