My metallic silver '74 2.0 was repainted back in the mid 80's because of supposed clear coat failure. Was this common back in the day.....if so, why.....what caused the paint to fail?

I had a 91 ford explorer.... two tone, gold and light brown. It lost it's clear. I remember other late 80's and early 90's cars did the same. Someone told me it was another "Unintended consequences of Govm't meddling" issue.
under short notice, the EPA made folks change formulation of the paint or the clear I suppose and it took a few years to get it right. |
