Re: Clear coating
It started on the front cap, then spread all over my coach, but mostly on just two colors. The best explanation I got was from two different body shops. If the clear is not sprayed shortly after the color, then it does not bond well. They assumed that since there were 5 colors on my coach that they waited until the last color was shot before clearing the entire coach.
The two that peeled were probably the first two colors applied.
Of course, Mikes Custom Paint (Factory paint contractor) denied any problems. This summer, I saw an exact duplicate of my coach (same year, model and color pattern). Guess what? Same clear coat peeling on same colors in the same places.
Mike's graciously offered to repaint my coach at a discount of just $10,000!
If you're good with a spray gun, try it. I would sand first to ensure a good bond.
