I've got some spots on my deck lid where a bird crapped when the previous owner had the car. I guess the previous owner just let it sit 'cause it has eaten through the clear.

I want to do some touch-up painting on it, but I'm kinda' scared. With enough wet-sanding, is there a chance it will come out looking better than where the clear is missing? If it improves it at all, I'm willing to try it.

Thanks!

okay I tried replying to your post and it crashed my comp... here we go again.

anyways, I basically said that sanding it wont do any good of it ate through the clear because it will still leave a discolored spot that wont look much if any better. If the clear has a look like a cracked egg shell then you might as well give up. if it's just a little smudge mark or scratch sand and polish will get it out but eggs or bird droppings usually eat the clear right off so your only option is to repaint.

Yes, it kinda looks like a cracked egg shell.

Thanks for the response ... you probably just saved me a bunch of hours and headaches!!!
