Hi
I'm having a few problems and before i go back to the place that did the work i just wondered if anyone could verify this information.
Basically, i had new bonnet fitted to my car as part of rectification work to some accident damage.
Now a few months later i was washing the car with a new sponge when i noticed a largish chunk of paint (1cm square- ish) had come away revealing some black finish beneath. closer inspection shows many smaller pin head sized areas all over the bonnet.
I took the car to a local bodyshop and explained the situation, and whilst they would be happy to fix it they said i ought to return it to the place that painted it originally as they felt it hadn't been done properly.
They suggested that all panels are supplied with black coating, which isn't a primer it is simply a coating to stop it rusting whilst in transit/storage. They said the correct way to do it would be to scrotchbrite it all over, prime with a light primer and then finish with top coat.
Inspection with a bright light and magnifier showed that the bonnet had not been "scotchbrited" leaving the black stuff shiny nor had it been primed, and thus a crap job had been done which would eventually result in the paint coming off, he suggested that using a jet wash would result in much of the paint coming off, as i don't use one i haven't found that out.
Does that sound about right and i should go back to the people who did the original work or is he just trying to get rid of me?
