Zinc pest on a Norev 911 GT2 DE?

Post by nick robson » Thu Oct 12, 2017 2:13 pm

So, there's this Norev 911 GT2 dealer edition in dark blue on eBay UK right now, however the seller himself pointed out that the paint on the hood/bonnet has "crazed":

Here's the listing.

What do you think of that? Does that look like zinc pest in its early stage? I might ask him for a better pic.

Thanks!

Ask for more images. Its either poor paint application or ZP. Not heard much of ZP with Norev releases though.

Yeah, seller sent me some extra pics today. Someone with the proper skills might be able to repair it perhaps, but not me unfortunately.

Funny, I found another one in black and it seems to have the same problem. Looks like a bad batch going around eBay at the moment...

I don't have the patience either. Skip and move forward I guess.
