    Maybe someone had it recoloured. Like you did with your door mouldings last year lol


    I am not sure if i should go back to the place I got it sprayed originally or try elsewhere. Don't want to pay another £150 and it starts to flake again!

    Not sure what to do!

    Anyone know why this has happened? Do I have to get the entire bumper reprayed? It looks like white primer underneath.

    Thanks

    Sounds like it wasn't prepared correctly before painting.

    In all fairness a good paint repair should last the life time of the car.

    Yeah I completely agree with you... I think that as well.....just not sure if I should go back to the same place...would expect a discount though!

    To be honest you wouldn't be asking too much to get it repaired FOC.

    There should be some form of guarantee on the repair?

    Hmm, the problem is I didn't get a receipt. Hopefully he should remember me cos he has done quite a bit of work on my Focus.

    All the more reason for him to look after you then. Retaining custom and all that.
