Fixing Paint Problems PDF Print E-mail

Paint problems stem from a lot of different areas. Let me start by saying that in 30 years of dealing with paint problems, I have only run into about a half a dozen in 30 years that were the paint manufactures problems. Most all of them were either  OEM paint match problems, application error, or in many cases an earlier paint job or material under the paint job that is reacting with the new job.

OEM Matching Problems-Variant Colors

For decades now, every paint manufacture has had difficulties with the refinish processes. When OEM creates Ford_Variationsa color, each paint company has to come out with a matching color. When trying to match these colors they have found out that they have had to make make as many as 8-10 variations of the same color. When you click on variant colors category, you will find that we have thousands of these variations in order to try to match a factory color.

Application Error

Most application errors occur when the painter is in a hurry, skips a step or two in the process, forgets the application dry times, or tries Orange_Peelto make do with what he has instead of adjusting to his conditions. One of the most common is Orange Peel or dry spray. If you take the time to go through our basic categories we have set it up so that if you follow the recommended steps and read the product bulletins (better yet, print them out on your computer) for each product being used, you will eliminate 90% of application error.

Paint Reactions

There is no easy way to know how someone else painted a car before you. That is why it is always better to take a car all the way downLifting to bare metal. When you don't reations can happen. Then it is best to start with a 2 part catalysted product like an epoxy primer. This should put a barrier between old and new. If you go through the categories of paint problems, you will see many of them related to undercoat problems. With the fix being, take all the old paint off.
