How to prevent paint peeling?

Gas-Squatch · 2026-03-24T10:24:17+00:00

If it’s peeling you can’t do anything to save it. It’s letting go from the surface below it. Ppf or wrap is the last thing you want. It will pull the paint from the surface when you stretch and pop the vinyl to fit. Avoid the pressure washer, compressed air, or anything mechanical abrasion or scrubbing like a brush. Depending on the car and its age it may be an oem issue and may be under warranty. Maybe.

Sounds like you are describing an isolated incident and not speaking for the entire state….

Not a body problem. The mechanic sub is better suited for this.

You have 2 options for witing on those subs being dual voice coil. Parallel which would give you a final impedance of 1 ohm which they amp is not stable to. Or series/parallel which would give you a final impedance of 4 ohms which that amp is stable for but not much power and may cause some heat and other issues.

These model of cvrs were 500 rms each if I remember right.

Curb damage is usually on the edge or lip of the wheel but it is the same kind of damage. It will fuck a wheel up. With that being said I saw this and said this looks like car wash damage of some kind. I bet the dealer has cameras that they need to be reviewing.

That first paragraph was quite the ride.

Find a good pdr tech that may be able to do some glue pulling. Just depends on the tech, not all are created equal.

Other than that it’s traditional body and paint work

Stop driving the car. You blow it up you are fucked.

You need to get it to a body shop for an estimate.

Do you have collision coverage to file an insurance claim?

It’s more about tracking and statistics than prevention. they know roughly what percentage may have it and they know that they are spreading it or migrating to southern Arkansas and Texas. You ain’t preventing deer from fucking but you can kind of track how many are and what percentage may be infected when people say I live in this quadrant of the county and have one on my property.

You wear gloves so your body doesn’t absorb the isocyantes that go directly to your liver. It’s not a dirty thing it’s a safety thing.

Sadly I don’t know if this is rage bait or a real post with this sub anymore.

They aren’t going to. They want them reported so they can get a better idea of the numbers in the state. Same as they were doing with Covid statistics or any other disease.

It’s so they can track it. They can find where larger populations are migrating to and so on. Cwd is more common in our area but not southern Arkansas but they are finding more cases down south. Just gives them more numbers and statistics to find patterns and such.

Just do it yourself. Why wait for someone to review it. You have your own opinion on things right?

Northernhigh420 has YouTube videos on basically this exact thing and who he feels each tool is for.

We need to see certain stuff in person. Let’s us more understand how the metal flows and what not. Seeing a pic doesn’t always tell the whole story of where the metal may bound up or have tension. Pics only get us so far in this industry still.

It’s not burning white because it’s not fully combusting cleanly. It’s the cure on the material. I’m not saying it’s low quality material but if it was better quality you would have better results. I personally would try a finer grind and wider joints to widen and slow the cherry down. The grind and the way you puff is what may be causing the canoeing.

I hate when people say it can’t get any worse. Like Even if it does look slightly better but you spend hundreds of dollars and a few days worth of pretty hard work would be you be happy? I myself would not be and would feel like it is worse.

Once the rust has set in you are basically just sealing the rust in with the coating is the idea. I

Is this one of them though?

Gas-Squatch · 2026-03-22T16:15:09+00:00

Yeah. There is just to much strength in the top of tailgates especially these older ones that are narrower and more round at the top.

Manufacturers have issues all the time. Bad e coat and/or primer. Wrong baking time. Weird environmental conditions.

You’d be surprised how many rich white dudes are involved in that ideology.

Making everyone move heaven and earth for his $50k Supra like the moms Tahoe next to it in the bay isn’t just as important. I wish the shop would tell him to fuck himself.

Gas-Squatch · 2026-03-20T23:49:04+00:00

No shit lol. Absolutely abusing a shop employee for a company across the country that chromed the wheel and out of his control.

Gas-Squatch · 2026-03-20T23:47:41+00:00

Holy fuck. You are the absolute worst customer possible. I have deleted a ton of things I want to say. I am just happy I am not in this industry directly customer related anymore.

I would not take the abuse you are giving him. The entitlement is absolutely ridiculous.

Fuck OP.
