Last year, I posted this thread regarding a shoddy repair job.
http://www.audizine.com/forum/showthread.php/454546-What-are-my-options
Once the clearcoat started peeling around the window trim, the shop was forced to remove the trim (as they should have done in the first place) and respray the entire passenger rear quarter panel in order to remedy the situation - or at least they said they would. When I picked up the car, I learned that instead of doing a complete respray, they stripped the clear down to the base coat and sprayed a couple layers of new clear over it. Now I am wondering if this is a proper method of repair. So far it looks fine and I do not see any bubbling of the clear.
The passenger door and front fender panel still remain pretty dull from the original repair job. I was wondering if I could take the matter into my own hands and do what the shop did - strip the clear down to the base coat and just spray some layers of Rustoleum automotive clear over it.
Thanks in advance.
