Bplacesad paint
A little while back, I had my 1988 Vette repainted. Soon after that the paint started to blister in some places. He stated that it is due to oil in the original factor paint. Do you know if that is an inherent problem for that year? If he is full of bull, what most likely could have causd the problem?

Re: Bplacesad paint
I would say he didn't do the job correctly. I would really press him to fix it free.
If he was aware of the problem he should have removed the old paint. Sanded it off primed it and then painted the car. A good paint job is expensive. A friend is rebuilding a 1937 Ford pickup and paint alone is $200.00 |

Re: Bplacesad paint
Ditto with rhandwor...if he knew of the "defect" he should have compensated for it. You don't mention where the blistering occurs, but a true factory paint contamination would be dispersed more or less over the entire body, and if it were oil contamination, I doubt it would have passed inspection for Corvettes. More common would be localized contamination...drips from various fluids onto the fenders, gas dripping onto the paint, etc., or aerosolized drops landing hither and yon. The car should have undergone a thorough wash and dry, sanding to remove the existing clearcoat, roughen the surface, and remove oxidation, air blow-off and tack cloth to remove dust and surface contaminants, then shoot it with the paint.
I'd bet his equipment wasn't completely cleaned out and purged with fresh paint prior to starting to paint the car. This could explain blistering or other defects on one section of the car where he started to paint...or continued after having to mix up more to finish the coat. Of course, more info would help, but hope this helps!
