Paint cracking

Post by Jeanie »

Just got my van from the paintshop about 2 weeks ago. I have noticed that there are hairline cracks appearing in most of the vertical seams. Does anyone know what sould be causing this?

Any advice would be appreciated.

bad quality paint job
bad quality paint

if its in the seams there may be sealer in there which flexies and bad quality paint cant flex, therefore will crack.

how much was the paint job????

would defintly advice taking it back to be sorted as its the pintshops fault

Was no cheap 1500 this was not including the work that went on before it was painted. I will take it back see what they say. Would just like to be fore armed with what could be causing the problem before I go back to them. They said they have used what ever they use to fill seams in transits etc. I did tell them that the seams maybe a problem and it would be important to get the filler right.
