I wonder if most car companies are either going cheap or if some govt regulations are forcing them to use different paint. We had our house painted 5 years ago and when we went to get the paint matched for some touch up work the guy at the paint place said it would be hard to match because govt regulations have changed how they make the paint. The guy started ripping the govt and when I told him i hate obama he got happy and said he would work with the paint until he got it matched perfectly. took him about 30 minutes.
I know NOTHING about paint so I am just passing this story along, not verifying it.

All paint is like that now. For the most part it is sprayed too thin and it doesn't have a chance to flow and level. They could put a little extra on then wet sand it level but that doesn't seem to happen.
As far as the stains are concerned, regular cleaning should take care of it. If you leave your paint dirty too long you will have major problems. Wet sanding is usually not needed and only a last resort. A simple light polish or compound usually gets out most blemishes. |
