Re: whats wrong with this picture?

ohter than paint... I can't tell. I even ran out to my car to compare, but I have aftermarket bumpers so no deal. lol

Re: whats wrong with this picture?

does it seem strange to you that just below the paint there is black plastic (the bumper), is there anything else that should be there???

Re: whats wrong with this picture?

no! lol thats a super closeup. the answer i was looking for was "primer"... do you concur?

[Mr. Burns]

Re: whats wrong with this picture?

LOL... don't know how I missed that. Who do you go to for paint so I know to avoid them?

Re: whats wrong with this picture?

well what you see was painted by rudy's. the rest of the bumper has primer, parts of it didnt.

Primer? I assume they peel right off together with the paint. If you constantly wash your car with high pressure hose(DIY car wash bay) you either have those paint peel right off or you push the salty recycle water into the panel.

Off topic..

Not to forget a classic example of bad VW paint job people has been complaining for years. IIRC 97.5~01 Passat people wash their car often with high pressure hose all year long and their POS original paint peel right off on both the bumper area. VW as well as local dealership offer NO help and VW do not admit the problem with the paint they used.

Thats thick enough to have primer with it, it looks more to me like they didn't prep the area under it enough, so the primer is bonded to the paint (as it should be), but the primer did not bond to the plastic....it doesn't look sanded to me! Thats more likely the culprit than no primer....

I have to agree with Alex here.

Re: whats wrong with this picture?

I agree I think it was primed but not preped.
