Lacquer Peel = "Patina".

If the base coat isn't effected, you can rub it down with some Scotchbrite then re-lacquer and usually get good results. There are videos on YouTube explaining how to deal with peeled lacquer, some are extremely good, others - well let's just say, "not so good"!

Depends how much it bothers you really!

Thanks Dave,
lots of good tips on there, Scotchbrite has really revolutionised flatting back these days, I have an old Ingersol Rand and a choice of Sprayguns so I may just have a play when I'm not so busy (or hot) but at the moment the Amazon is still requiring my attention trying to blend in a couple of panels to give her a respectable look for the Summer.

I lived in Creekmoor for a while and ventured into Boscombe once or twice - that was enough! Lovely bit of beach there but not a particularly safe place at times!

When he said he was at "uni", did he mean Bournemouth University Health Trust Mental Health Facility?

Dash sniffing and window licking are not normal behaviour!
Haha yes it was a bit of a twitchy moment!! I lived in Broadstone and later Corfe Mullen, just up the road from Creekmoor of course, for most of my teens and early twenties, what a small world! You’re right about Bos Vegas, it’s better now but a few years ago it was at its absolute nadir as a smack ridden griefhole...not the place to get carjacked and dashsniffed!!
