What type of paint is on a GU??

I don't know about the Nissans but on mine it is stamped on one of those plates under the bonnet.

Its also in my hand book.

I would imagine it would be 2 pack like most modern vehicles are.

I assume it is white as per the rig pic, it may have been repaired at some stage and different paint used.

If you have metallic paint and it does this the clear coat is usually sunburnt and requires a respray to repair, no amount of buffing will help. If buffed it will usually be worse after a few weeks.

Maguires "paint cleaner" does a great job of removing annoying scratches from 2pac paint....
It is in a plastic bottle like polish,,, then you should polish it with some sort of wax polish afterward....
Expensive though.
Repco, Autobarn etc etc..
Oh,, it is a hand polish.
Worked on my GU Patrols before i bought my Cruiser and works well on the Cruiser also.

Hey Michael,

If it's original paint then it would most deffinately be a two-pak paint. I also think it would be a direct gloss paint, which means it has no clear coat over it, the colour and the gloss is applied as one.

As for the dull spot it sounds like there are really fine scratches in the paint causing a dull reflection. If you can't polish like you say then i would just take it to a crash repair shop and they should be able to fix fairly quickly. They will be able to tell you what is wrong if it can't be buffed.

I doubt it will be anything to drastic, as paints usually start to break down on the top surfaces (bonnet, roof etc) not on the doors, especiallly if it's in the middl;e of a door. Probably just needs a light sand with wet and dry and then a good buff.

Hope it all works out

Thank you everyone who replied, i will let you know how i go!! Michael
