I don't believe a few hours in the sun will cause any problems, but there is a problem with certain batches of SQ1s in Cruiser Blue. Namely, the rubber used on the mounts tends to seep into the lacquer finish, eventually producing a dark gray halo or ghosting effect on the finish. It is a problem Sonor has acknowledged, and I documented it here: http://www.sonormuseum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=18649
What should I do. I dont want this to happen as I want to sell the kit later on. Should I sell it and buy a different finish or just keep it. Cuz this kit cost me alot of money.
I forgot to mention i brought the floor tom and 12 inch tom used. After inspecting it closely for a few minutes looks like I have the same problems. Here's the picture. I contacted my dealer and had no luck. I am very angry and disappointed. Spent alot of money on this kit. I wish I knew about this before I brought it. It appears to be on both the 16 inch floor tom and 12 inch floor tom. See below the picture of the 16 inch floor tom. I dont know if i exactly have the problem. Please could you tell me after looking at it. looking at your kit, i think i have the problem you did.I'd recommend just keeping an eye on it, as you might have a set without the issue (you can see it under the mounts if it's starting). If it should appear, you should first contact your dealer, and if no satisfaction there, appeal directly to Sonor Germany. In my case, Sonor referred me to KHS America (US distributor for Sonor), and after several email exchanges, they sent me a brand new replacement set in GT Black.
