I don't want to read all the comments below but I've had that happen when I used the wrong paint. I used high quality 2k clearcoat, but it lasted less than a week because the paint was cheap and not the proper mix for a clearcoat to properly bond with. This should not happen from someone who's been doing this daily on different cars.

@ImportLifeMedia 4 ай бұрын

What sucks is that, the clear, the hardener, the reducer, and the paint was all top notch! I spent a lot of money, to have an amazing outcome, then he went and messed everything up, making our cars hard to look at.

That comes from the person not allowing the paint to dry in between coats.

@ImportLifeMedia Жыл бұрын

Yeah, I think it was that, and also not prepping it right and not giving it the proper time/heat to cure. I was pretty disappointed and sad/angry to see.

@deimosphob 10 ай бұрын

I've painted a truck, its really not that hard to do it. But unqualified people put cheap primer, mix improperly on all coats, don't prep enough or overprep the base pre-primer layer and do over 200 grit which causes stuff like this to happen on the basecoat, another thing that happens is they don't wait between coats, then you get offgassing and cracks in the clear. Or you wait too long and you get absolutely no adhesion of base to clear because it wasn't tacked and cleaned. You could have done a better job than this guy tbh.
