Hey De,
just looking at the picture you posted on the top coat of paint on that car indicates to me,( and I do this for a living and had for a career as well), that there was lack of adhesion between the base or prime coat and the finish or top coat of paint.
There can be several factors that affect that condition and the factory should have been aware that it existed from testing.
The PAINT itself may not be bad. What was bad was the application process which includes preparation and pre-treatment before application of the primer coat and AFTER the primer coat before the topcoat was applied.
But , in the end, when you as a consumer and owner of a vehicle that looks like that rightfully see is a "crappy paint job" and that is true.
I just had that same conversation on Friday afternoon at a company that makes Iron Gates and fencing and they have allowed their subcontractor for their "paint" finish to choose a coating that MAYBE will last two years before it begins to weather and the owner I was talking with and trying to educate as I ascertained he literally knew NOTHING about powder coating, doesn't have the fortitude to even call the subcontractor and tell him to explore the costs and pricing of a coating that will last at minimum 7 years before it even HINTS of a slight change in gloss, not color.
Difference in price would likely be ZERO.
Lots of morons out there who really could care less about their end customers and desire to go through life willfully ignorant and stupid.
I let him know before I left that I could not in good conscience ever recommend to a consumer to purchase his product as it is vastly inferior and will not last for what people pay for it. I know too many other shops like his who do a much better job.
But, yes sir, that paint job is horrific and could have been avoided by the company and some engineers should have caught that.
Shame on them....
