[QUOTE="plutoII, post: 704922, member: 14411"] Half way through sanding down, these pink patches are also a clear indication of a quick, low-budget repair done previously. Below are just 2 areas out of many other problematic areas. As mentioned previously, this posting is merely to educate forumers as to why any respray of aged vehicles is almost never a straighforward matter. You simply can't see the gremlins lurking below the colourcoat.

Easy to work with, its prone to cracking in the future. A better alternative is the light yellow filler, which is much more difficult to sand, but offers much greater durability. [/I] Many sprayers will leave these repaired areas alone. If the price of the respray justifies it, these previously repaired areas will be "removed", and properly repaired again the proper way. This is the only way to ensure a proper "base" on which to spray the primer, colour, and clearcoat. In the case of this lovely E36 M3, these old problems are not a serious issue. All necessary measures will be taken and 100% no short cuts to ensure the base is as pristine as possible before primer is sprayed. [/QUOTE]
