Ther's a reason for that frowny up there! lol

Ok, so I have a Maaco paintjob. I think some of you know from another thread I responded to on here. But to recap, I was one of the unlucky ones (thanks to a previous owner) it sucks. It's peeling, lots of orange peel, and again...peeling. Looks like they didn't sand at all when they painted. In fact I peeled some of the paint away and found what appeared to be dirt they didn't even wash off the original paint......

So, what do I have to do before fresh paint? I know if it were factory paint i would have to sand and scuff the surface before fresh paint, but this paint has to come off cause it's peeling off on it's own!! But just exactly how should I tackle this mess of a paint job??

Thanks in advance!

 

wow sorry to hear that. i think im leaning more towards not bringing it to maaco. a lot of good stories about it here but with my luck and the way i love my car, i'd be the one who gets one of their crappy jobs.

 

I'm not the expert, but it it were me I'd get Aircraft Paint Stripper and just take it down to metal and start over!!!!

 

I think POR-15 sells some sort of paint stripper. You may want to look into it. A DA sander would work as well.

 

If they did an f'd up paint job on MY car, I would have them repaint it or get a refund!

 

definetley! sadly....this paint job was done I think a few ago by the previous owner. Really poor quality IMO. Didn't really think about that when I got the car though
