shane92 Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 Okay the owner before me had the bumpers resprayed,But the quality is absolute ****! The only way i can describe the touch or feel is like an orange peel!theyre also a nightmare to polish as it seems to stick to it?and the front looks like it constantly has some liquid or **** running down it! apart from the obvious respray,Any ideas how to fix?

jamiea7x Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 absolutely none mate, ive had this before when i painted my spoiler myself, the reason was i hadnt enough catalyst in the laquer and it left it soft, don't know if this is whats happened to you but sounds similarim sure one of the more paint and body guys will be along and give u a more n depth explanation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M-automotive Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 Sounds like bad paint, Any pictures of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lupo1.0se Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 Hhmmm, join the club of dodgy paint, I had a similar problem with one of the arches as it went dull as the guy didn't laquer it.I end up getting resprayed which has now resolved this issue but it caused problems for the paint place and they had to do it twice.I think as already mentioned in the thread is to get them fully sprayed, just make sure you can see the paint places work before going to do the work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

puggled Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 I've heard of all sorts of things causing orange peel, from spraying temperature to strong aftershave contaminating it.Not much you can do but get some wet and dry on it?

mbh69 Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 you get orange peal in any paint it's normal the better you are at spraying the less you'll end up with but you'll still get some no matter what you do, to remove it you flat and polish it after taking the surface away and making it flat, problem is if you'v not done it you don't know the quality of the paint or how much is on there, personally i hate repairing someones attempt at painting and charge more as it takes longer and you have a higher chance of reactions and problems.
