Break-away Paint! Buffer Damage or Paint Prep Problem?
It will likely create a 50/50 split on what caused it, but here's the question ...
Was this break-away paint caused by my rotary buffer (too hot, too much pressure...)? Or is this the result of poor paint preparation and the paint did not adhere to the surface correctly?
This IS a repaint.

That's a plastic lower skirt? I'd say you overheated it.

The paints chipping away! To me, thats a sure sign of poor prep!

The mark on top kinda looks like a burn through!

Maybe the answer is both!

Yes, it is the plastic skirt. But the reason I'm posting the thread is because I recently had the same thing happen on a metal hood. I've been told the plastic parts can get hot, flex, and then the paint breaks apart, but now I have the issue with a metal hood. ?? Sorry, no pics of the hood damage but it had that same look, small flecks of paint spun in a circular direction.

Was the hood a repaint? If so, find a new body shop!

Yep, both repaints (but two different ones). I'm orchestrating my no-fault clause against repaints now!

Re: Break-away Paint! Buffer Damage or Paint Prep Problem?
Come on guys, I was sure this would generate more conflict.
For more details, I was using a rotary with Meguiar's #105 ... but I'm smart enough to know how NOT to let the paint get too hot. I'm always moving the buffer over an area so as not to heat up one spot too much. In both cases of my misfortune, the flakes seemed to pull away from the paint in the first 30 seconds of buffing time, unusually quick in my opinion. And to me, it doesn't even resemble a buffer burn. Now obviously the paint heated some, so this quick release of paint flakes is not the norm. Again, in my opinion.
Thoughts?
