Title: nothing important
Post by: tobybrennan on 30 July 2010, 20:32

nothing important really, just wanted someone to tell me something

right getting my car resprayed, the guy has done the roof perfect, but rang me about the doors and said its reacting with spraying id done on it before, he said they're going to have to sand it to bare metal and try it.

I just hope this works
what do you think?

+2 suppose they are just playing it safe so it defo wont react again?  better safe than sorry.

i guess they are charging you more for this?

More fool them for painting over it!
Back to bare metal will cure all, just make sure they wash/etch prime the bare metal, before Hi build primer goes on...
