Primer Problems???, Paint is pealing Options

[Guest_DJMC_Celica_*]

Ok, so i noticed when i was washing my car the other day, and my paint was litteraly pealing off! My uncle looked at it and said it looks like they didnt prime it right for fiberglass, and if it had, it wouldnt be this bad! Anyone have any thought into this?

So the paint is peeling off of your fiberglass pieces? Didn't you paint them yourself? If so, did you use primer over the pieces and then wet sand them before painting them?

I had the shop do it first, and they supposedly primed it and everything, but i tried to fix the peeling parts, didnt work out that well

if you want something done right, then do it yourself.

That's what I say.

Well, not to sound like a d!ck but, i dont have the time, nor the patience. So thats why i had a bodyshop do it for me, not to mention i dont know if they used the "right" Primer is there such a thing??

[sphinx]

You can use any primer. What matters the most is other preparations. Making sure the car isn't wet when the primer/paint is shot. Making sure the car isn't greasy when the primer/paint is shot. Proper sanding of the car before the primer and after.

I mean, it will be hard to determine exactly where the paint job went wrong. Could be the paint, could be the primer, could be the actuall preperation. It's just hard to say.

they might not of put a flex agent into the paint, hense the peeling

How reputable is the bodyshop? Take it back and make em redo it right.

[Guest_DJMC_Celica_*]

I tried that and there excuse was that they cant determine how the paint will hold to that kind of material. So they dont warantee it!!!
Kinda Sh!ty

I wouldn't be surprised, because my tailights started fadeing in color, and i assumed they never even painted them, but they said they did, and now all of a sudden the color is fadeing and they said the same thing!!! Not to mention the guy and my dad are friends so i dont want to piss him off, but it is my money ya know?
