Hi Lindsay,
"I have seen this happen when the recommended film builds are exceeded."
That may explain it. Because of my "bonus" system, a lot of paint went on that car. Film thickness is, well, thick... My cunning plan may have backfired...
Any luck on the paint code?
AJ,
"Was it thoroughly cleaned with a good quality surface prep and a tack cloth before applying the colour"? I don't know about the tack cloth, but it is a professional paint shop? Pretty sure the proper surface prep cleaning was done..
How much paint should I organize to paint 2 doors, boot and bonnet? Would 1 L do it?
Thanks for your advice, much appreciated
Cheers
Michael
Sorry for the late reply, I had a look and couldn't find any code like what you have and it looks like most Mitsubishi codes are similar but have more numbers.
To follow up on my previous comment regarding film builds of paint causing cracking, this is currently happening on the roof of my Alfa and a few other spots on the car. I measured the film builds and got very high numbers, around 1200 microns in places. I am a development chemist for Dulux in auto refinish.
