Mehran paint issue

[engr.mubasharmalik]

Hello friends I have mehran model 2009 having issue with paint can you suggest me any solution for this. I have attached picture also.

Typical problem with single stage white paint in Mehran, no other solution than respray.

[engr.mubasharmalik]

@aliusman420 its mean that paint issue will go worst in future ? or this issue can be control via respray on specific area..

[aliusman420]

The paint is peeling off, all those spots from where paint is weak or has vanished need to be resprayed.

Get paint brush kalam for small places like the ones in picture. For a complete panel, go for repaint.

@biloo the concerned matter is if I repaint these speciific area , will that paint removing issue stop? Or should i change the mehran...?

Bhai go for a full body re spray and get a good quality paintjob if u want to keep the car. Otherwise temporary measures are qalam touching or minor respray.

There is no point keepin a car like mehran "genuine paint" becuase it will always remain a mehran and it will fade.

i have 2016 model and at some points it has started showing rust already

Kalam is a temporary fix. For a permanent fix, repainting is the only solution.

The car have only few spots from where the paint has been removed so I think I will prefer to repiant only specific area rather than painting the whole car right now. And In future I will try to change mehran. (images attached for reference)many thanks for the help @biloo @aliusman420 @qazi_sajid @nnabeel mg src="//live-pw-import.s3.amazonaws.com/original/4X/d/b/9/db93f6989294396cf23cdcd06097278c99361b7d.jpg" width="666" height="500">

I would say get kalam and see how long it lasts. You can get it repainted anytime you want to plus it's not a brilliant idea to repaint different spots in different areas.

With all due respect; you've bought a tin can. Why do you expect it to be something else?

Something called 'car'?

I can't believe we pay MILLIONS for this thing!

Anyhow, buy a white paint spray bottle and cover the peeling paint. Don't leave it like that otherwise your car's thin body panels will start to rust and rot. I've seen Mehrans leaking from the roof when it rains!

If you need a permanent solution; then get it resprayed. The whole paint has to be peeled off first with sandpaper which is very time consuming and hence will set you back a lot of cash.

Hope it helps!

I am in same boat as you I have a late 2006 white mehran with same symptoms. It will keep getting worst with passing time. I have seen very worst cases with big chunks of paint gone from rooftop and back of car. I wouldn't recommend repaint unless you want to keep the car for a long time.
First repaint is not cheap it will cost you thousands for a good paint job. Secondly you will loose more in devaluation of car price due to stupid mentality of local market. Keep in mind that you car has already lost some price due to this paint issue and you will learn more about it once you offer it for sale from potential customers. Also kalams won't solve the problem but will cause a reason for bargain that its not genuine!

It would be better to bare the loss due to this paint problem and sell the car instead of spending money on repaint and then loosing even more due to devaluation.
