Paint Touch ups

Has any other Forum members had paint fail where it has been touched up , and was it a prep screw up at body shop?

Some details would help here.

Are we talking a small section being repainted, buffed..a whole panel? There are too many variables to even venture an answer at your question.

It was prior to me owning the car but I think it was the whole front bumper cover.

Weren't you whining about this 6 weeks ago? Take it like a man, you blasted 1/3 of your paint off with a power washer.

yep. looks like someone took a pressure washer to their car and thought it wouldn't be an issue.

It sounds to me like you would be the one giving it to me?

In my opinion, If the powerwasher is powerful enough, or close enough to any painted surface, paint will come off. You can etch concrete and put a hole in wood with a power washer.
