gledo1970 Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Take it back and get him to repaint the car mate... by the looks of it the basecoat was not fully dry before the clear coat was applied or an over thinned/activator clear coat mix was used and as the solvent is trapped in the base coat/clear coat it pulls the gloss level down as it dries ,in the trade we call it pinching,sucking,dropping etc or in the days of single pack paint they would bloom if the humidity was high. this is a common mistake made when using cheaper material , If the paint work is flat and polished (colour sanded) it will keep pinching and the gloss level will keep dropping in time.. you have paid for a respray and what he has give you is a very poor standard of workmanship. It should not be down to you to pay for the car to be machined polished/colour sanded by someone else, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miko_supra Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 So whats the true reason behind you not taking it back to the paintshop? you seem a little reluctant...You shouldnt be the one spending hours correcting someone elses mistakes.

The Raven Posted July 21, 2008 Author Share Posted July 21, 2008 At last i win. Hours of work wet and dry, and g3 and im about done. The reason it wont go back is it would cause a huge amount of personal issues with my family. http://img187.imageshack.us/img187/3702/hoilday379un6.th.jpg http://img111.imageshack.us/img111/8803/hoilday376ex5.th.jpg http://img187.imageshack.us/img187/1629/hoilday378gt8.th.jpg I will update my garage when i give it a final go over.
