    I'm not sure about the roofs and 1/4 panels.
    Woah woah woah, is this the bright red then? Rosso is it? Stupid phone makes it look like tiziano red, which isn't clearcoated fo sho. If yours is rosso red it might be, easy test is to polish an area and see if you have red on the pad!

    Mine is silver Kyle (see sig), but when I've been buying projects it's the flat/solid Red ones I have seen to be experiencing peeling lacquer on tops of bumpers. Think there was even one with a bonnet peeling, was not red flakes coming off for certain.

    If red comes off onto the pad/cloth/whatever you're using to polish the paint with, it means that it is single stage paint

    all fiat/alfa reds are single stage, any that you come across that have been clear coated is from repair.

    Thats wrong...

    Earlier Fiats such as Puntos yes, but Alfa GTV's and Fiat Coupes for example were lacquered

    Rust??? on a carpet?!!?!

    If I'm understanding you right and it's just rust thats stuck in the fibres of a carpet, then a nail brush and a vac would be your best bet..

    Yeah well back when the old leaky white roof was on the windows leaked and the metal subframes that were sat in their rusted a bit to the carpet. So when i picked them off thier was a rectangle patch of rust in the carpet.
