2015 is when it was painted, the scraped paint smells fresh. Like it was just sprayed.Looks soft. Screwed up activator my guess. How long ago sprayed?
So if you paid for base/clear who put the primer on and prepped the car?I paid someone to paint it, base/clear is what is on it. Several people have said its trapped solvent between the base and primer. Just curious of y’alls thoughts. I have to redo for free anyway but don’t want this to happen again. I paint all my work now but I have never seen this before.
I did all the body work, didn’t have a booth at the time to paint it myself.So if you paid for base/clear who put the primer on and prepped the car?
He would have prepped with grease/wax remover before paint.I did all the body work, didn’t have a booth at the time to paint it myself.
Need more details. What primer was on the car when you gave it to him? Did he seal it? Prepping with wax/grease remover doesnt make much sense to me. but im assuming he sanded the primer before paint?
What brand basecoat was used?[/QUOTE
Nason base, nason primer. I wet sanded it the day before he got it. He didn’t seal it. You don’t use grease/wax remover?
I agree, at the time I had previously worked for him and then started my own business, sometimes you can put too much trust in someone. I know better now and use SPI products.This is a fine example of how saving money on the front end will cost you more than if you used quality products to start.
If you like this car, strip it to metal and go at it again. Lesson learned! Good luck.
