Havent washed the car in a while
Brought it into the shop last nite to give a quick rinse with the pressure washer
this one area. passenger side up at the far corner by the glass hatch. Flaked clear coat. a good like... 1/2 square foot.

Now other then a real ****ty job at paint. What could cause this?

Salt and dirt being on it for too long? Dried out it?

i dont understand where exactly ur talking about
its not on the bumpper or a plastic piece of the body is it?? metal area?

SleepyEG

yeah i did an *** job explaining the area.

looking at the passenger side. its the area above the back pass window. Metal. Pretty much under the "gutter" of the roof is

Mine is too. From what I hear , its and easy fix. Wet sand and re-clear. Shouldn't be too expensive.

My EK had some very little coat flaking around the trunk boundaries. It wasn't too bad, or noticeable until your looking VERY closely at it.

As czeto said, its an easy fix, depending on how bad its flaking.

You're not supposed to just clear over top of scuffed basecoat. It wont last, you're supposed to spray your basecoat, then clear.

reasons they flake or peel is because of improper paintjobs, if the area was masked off and not removed etc...

ive sprayed the back quarterpanel uptil the arch part i think ur talking about and faded it around there. but i was redoing my wheel well rust at that time,

SleepyEG

Yeah

Im thinkin monday ill call up the body shop my work deals with
and seein what they can do for me.

or i might just leave it. im not THAT big on looks... as long as nothing rusts is all i care about

imported_truluder

the prep was done ****....and the proper way to paint a 1/4 panel...or better i should say is taking the 1/4 glass out

SleepyEG

The car was painted long before i picked up it over a year ago.

So im just guessing it was prolly some **** Maaco paint job or something.
