need help on a 71 paint issue

Dec 09, 2005 4 Replies

just recently finished repainting my 71 coupe with the 2002 corvette electro blue. It looks great and the painter did a really nice job.



The problem that has come up, is that on the hood, just above the air breather area, the paint has air pockets. The guy who painted it, took the hood back and repainted it again and while the air pockets are not as many, it is still occuring. We did paint the inside a flat black, as many other vettes that we looked, were also painted a flat black.



Could this be caused by the heat of the motor?? and if so, what would be the fix??



Any suggestions as to why or how, and what can be done would be appreciated.

Can't think of any reason this would be done but you're right on. It was posted a while back with the same problem. I didn't reply this time because I didn't want the topic to get any further notoriety.

Looks like potential foul play of some sort. 'Bankarea' website is in Bucharest, Romaina. If it continues: snipped-for-privacy@ines.ro

Sheesh. If they can't spell "our" they can't program.
