Year 2000 car started to get some small paint bubbles on the rear arches a while ago so last year I attacked it with a dremmel and quality anti rust materials thinking that would sort it, unfortunately it came back a year later so whilst it was in for a partial respray I asked them to sort it.
They cut out the offending patches and you can see why it couldn’t be addressed from the outside. The arch comprises of double metal layer and over the years the interior paint protector fails and rust starts to breed between the two surfaces. The outer arch was cut out and after treatment a new patch will be welded in.
I suspect a few 996’s will be affected by this now.
