GMC Motorhome, The paint just fell off..

Ok, so I have no idea why but my lap top isn’t talking to me, if this #^&€£¥¥&*( thing is working I’ll suffer and do this today, by phone!  Gross misspell and such just ain’t ma fult……

So here we go and Andy pay close attention because you will not believe this!

So I get a call from an excited new GMC owner who happened to live in Switzerland.  Now THAT’S  a dedicated enthusiast!  So the coach was trucked in…… a good looked but I had to agree even that pale light blue is just not the color. 20161206_161004  We’ll as you can see we’re  starting to take it apart in breakdown for paint. .. hey but the paint really doesn’t look that bad.. . it’s just blue!  Even Phillips my mechanic questioned the move.  Ok, so with a DA sander we hit the shines blue. .   …  and it all FELL OFF!!!

I mean came off in sheets

Wow, I know it could happen but the coach had 1 thin layer of blue and 1 coat of clear…. and none of it stuck.

20161206_160720

Unbelievable, the primer was smoothed so much the paint didn’t stick!  Wow, we’ll one layer comes off, wonder what kinda primer that was….. Te.  Plucking on this phone is sacking my will to live …   lemme get out of here, get the computers fixed and I’ll post more later…. see ya then…..
