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

Its really not a prep issue.. I have painted a lot and can tell you it is straight up assembled to quickly after painting. They twisted the rubber bushing thus causing the twisting of paint.. Personally I would not respray that area rather just get a discount from them I should rephrase because I agree, it’s a painting issue. I just meant that it had to do with the paint/prep process, not due to anything that the rubber grommet did. I’m not sure that water will get in. It would be difficult to tell but are there cracks in the paint? If so eventually water will get it. If no cracks then you would probably be okay. |
