There were several cracks in the finish indicating that there may be an issue either with the metal or the filler that may have been applied. It is best to remove all the questionable paint related materials and make any necessary repairs.
New paint is only as good as the materials beneath it. Also if the adhesion has failed between the layers, there is really no way to repair it without removing it totally.
We encountered only a thin layer of plastic filler on the left side of the car. However, this was not the case with the right side. The fender had sustained minor collision damage and rather than straightening the metal, a thick layer of filler had been applied. We will remove all the filler, straighten the metal as much as possible and apply new filler.
This car was painted years ago. Body repair materials and coatings have improved drastically. The new body will look much better and last longer.
Stay tuned...
