Cr*p paint job David Tubby Davidt dtubby9753@aol.com
I had FT bare metal resprayed 5 years ago.
Over the years an increasing number of areas have started to show the bubbling spiders web of corrosion under the paint, mostly adjacent to the joints.
I had another painter look at it and his opinion was it was poor decorrosion and preparation.
I paid for an extra 20 hours of de corrosion work over the 5 hours that came with the paint job.
I have been told that the new paint guy will strip and de corrode the bubbled areas and try to paint those areas to match but no guarantee it will work.Extra cost £2k about $4grand.
How long should a paint job last for a plane always hangared?
Have I been ripped off?
Should I bother getting a patch up done or just get it bare metaled again?
What do you guys think?
