Like people said Vauxhall didn't do it properly -- should be two-pack/plastic primed, smoothed, etc, etc -- mine are fine. | |

It's to do with the protective silicone based coat that was on the car originally... It reacts with the paint an does this... Usually happens on v new cars, but happens on Corsa C's up to 6-9 months after buying em... | |

quote: they obviosuyl jsut painted the plastic as if they were doing a normal metal panel for instance. the plastic shuda been rubbed down, plastic primered, high build primered..given a slight rub down so that they were smooth and then painted. | |

If the paint is flaking off, skim the arch with body filler first. | |

I asked for mine to be colour coded by vaux when i bought it. they said ok but it may not stay on because of the little bumps on the arches. | |

I had a similar problem, the previous owner had used somthin with silicone in it like back to black or similar, when I took it in to be colour coded it caused all the paint to bubble and flake off | |

quote: only prob i had with mine was there was so much bumper gel applyed to my arches that the paint wouldnt take no matter how much thinners and other things were applied. had to buy nnew arches and the paint went on fine with sum plastic primer, high build then sum painting. i will never use \AutoGlym shit again | |
