Paint Problem Options

[cal914]

Had my 914 bare metaled and repainted 6 months ago ,when washing her the other day I saw that the paint was blistering and coming away from the body where the windshield wipers are attached ,this is happening on both ,I was told by the shop that painted the car that this was due too old rubbers been fitted (there only 2 years old and they did the refit ) is this correct or are they BS me ,any advice would be great fully received

Yup...I call BS. The paint had not cured enough before reassembly. Happened once to me. You can easily tell that from the way the paint has rippled in one direction. Essentially the top skin had dried but the paint underneath was still fluid so when they tightened down the windshield wiper they stretched the skin and created underlying fluid ripples. These can show up slowly as constant tension slowly stretches the skin and moves the still fluid underlying layer of paint. Their fault, their responsibility, your headache (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Good luck! The fact that they are trying to make this your fault is not a good sign.

Todays paint needs 30 days to fully cure.. Especially if you use an epoxy primer as a sealer prior to base then clear
