I've had the front nose cone painted on my MNR about 2 weeks ago and everything was perfect up until tonight! For some reason 2 dents have arrived on the top of the nose cone! It looks like it has started to flex or melt but there in no heat soarce or impact. I gave it a dust off last night and they wearnt there. Any ideas why this would happen? Could it be a paint reaction with the fibre glass and if so why has it taken 2 weeks to happen?

sounds like a reaction as the paint has dried, or if its been filled the filler has sunk / bloomed

im no expert so dont take it a gospel we did have a paintshop in house at one time but my only involvement was moving the cars in and out

hope it nots too bad, if so what about a full racing stripe

cheers

had my cobra painted and they used a sealer before the primer as he said u get small air bubbles in gel coat which get trapped under the paint.i have had no problems.
