2000 Accord EX-VL clear coat paint problem.
Hi all,
I just wonder if anybody has encountered the following problems. The front part of my Accord is covered with mud after lawn mowing a few days ago in the apartment complex and the fact that the ground is saturated with water after weeks of rain recently in Pacific Northwest. Upon removing the mud, I discovered that a few places under the mud has developed bubbles with size closed to a penny. Apparently, the clear coat paint has turned translucent in those places and the area has"growed" up like a bubble. I was surprised that happened in the bumper as it is made of plastic and thus will not rust. There is also a small bubble developed in the hood lid too. I don't know exactly what's wrong, but the car has no bubble problems before and it is mostly used in California before. It looks like some debris kick up from the mower or the lawn clipper has poked into the clear coat and water vapor trapped inside it expanded after repeating patterns of sunshine/hot temperature and rains/cold days in the last couple days. Do you have similar experience after rain? If yes, please share your experience. Thanks, Pete. |

In that case the mud was probably something out of Episode 45 of the X-files. Don't get it on your hands! -- Tegger The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ |

2000 Accord EX-VL clear coat paint problem.
I've got a similar problem with a '98 Accord EX. The clear coat on the roof
at the rear edge is deteriorating. I've checked with the previous owner, and the roof has not been painted.
