balls

kinda tempted to wet and dry the flaky bits off, and spray some rattle can laquer over it for now. got plenty of other bits need doing, but was going to leave them til the truck was done

Cover them with post-it notes

I did the same to my 1998 Volkswagen with the high pressure cleaner (120 bar only).

If it's on the roof.....chop it of and make it convertible!

put realy big wheels on it then when the roofs higher than you , you'l not see it! anyway why is it a problem? cant see how it stops you seeing the tele or stops there being beer in the fridge !

its not a peugeot is it? My 106 had the lacquer peeling like that, it was very common apparently especially in the colour i had. (metallic red)

On a pug forum I think someone mentioned that a company could strip the lacquer and re apply it for about £300-£400. But i can't remember who they were I'm afraid.

I just lived with it
