Peeling lacquer

Has anyone else suffered with lacquer peeling on the bonnet skuttle or front grill on their L405.

My 2013 AB has some fairly major peeling as per the photos.

Not sure if this will be covered by the the warranty.

My brother had exactly this - materialised after a main dealer service - the valet bay were spraying neat TFC onto the bodywork prior to steam cleaning - I suspect the TFC was allowed to dry, it was mainly the plastic work where the lacquer came off. The Dealer sorted it. 2021 L405 Vogue SE 4.4 V8 DIESEL ~ #17

I have the same on the front bumper around the fog lights.

Is the only fix a re-spray?[/quote] 2006 L322 3.6 TDV8

I know which makes more mess.

Almost all the 405's i see have lacquer damage to the bonnet vent! Surprisingly NOT!!! They are made by the same company that produced the "Brunel" parts for the 322...... Rolling Eyes

Most of my customers ask us to paint them "piano black" like the window surround parts... That and we have colour coded a few...

To be fair to JLR, we have been recolouring these from factory delivery as many customers find it odd they are in a colour that does NOT match any colours near to them on the vehicles... I.E. They do not match the colours of the side sticks/moldings not the roof or mirrors if you order silver... "Very strange" JLR!!! Whistle

Interesting to hear Craig.

I was considering getting them sprayed to match my car but wondered if LR would replace them as a warranty claim before I took the plunge. 2019 L405 SDV8 Autobiography

Interestingly Buzz, it looks like you have the brother to my car... Mine is the only 405 I've seen without peeling from those parts! Mine is currently in the bodyshop having the bonnet vent piano'd...

I can't see JLR admitting there is a peeling issue any time soon sir I'm afraid Rolling Eyes

Had the same with side mirrors first one, after some time the other side. .....2013 AB. It was not covered by warranty, as the said it could have been because of stones/chipping.....

Cheers, Alex

AFAIK the paintwork warranty which might cover this is three years only, after that the warranty is perforation (which I think means rotting from inside out) for another three years, so I'd not expect anything from LR on a 2013 car. Only Range Rovers since 1988

I have extended warranty.....but am somehow disappointed that colour is chipping after some years on a premium car...
