#1: Paint flaking big time. Author: j.emmettclark, Location: Keith SCotlandPosted: Tue Apr 05, 2011 12:52 pm ---- The paint on my 206 is flaking off bad on a couple of the wheel arches, is there an easy diy fix or is it a body shop job? starting to rust a bit..
also it seems to be caused by the clips of the mudflaps. is it illegal to have no mudflaps, was going to remove them. the back ones are smashed up anyway.

just make sure you dont leave the rust or it will eat your car lol

#5: Re: Paint flaking big time. Author: j.emmettclark, Location: Keith SCotlandPosted: Tue Apr 05, 2011 1:04 pm ---- and what about respraying?
#6: Re: Paint flaking big time. Author: Seabook, Posted: Tue Apr 05, 2011 1:08 pm ---- only truck are required to have mudflap
#7: Re: Paint flaking big time. Author: Jayde, Location: BrightonPosted: Tue Apr 05, 2011 1:08 pm ---- I didn't have mud flaps on my first 206, and my I don't think my 180 does, unless they are just the bog standard manufactured ones hence why I haven't noticed them!!
I'm abit confused as to how the clips of the mudflaps would be causing the paint to flake. What year is the car? Could be due to previous poor care of the car, but as antknee said, best bet is to strip it back, apply a rust treatment and then respray.
As always, pictures may help give a more detailed answer to the problem
