Question
2001 chev suburban lower panel in front of rear wheel 7"x10" area minor bubbling of paint. brought to abra autobody and paint they repaired this spot & told me only 1 pinhole existed . paint was done looked good. 1 week later paint is bubbling should this reoccurance have happened in such a short time ?
Greg-
Absolutely not. Without seeing it I can't say for sure but- The bubbling may be from a few different causes. The most likely of which could be solvent popping. This can occur when the different repair materials aren't given a chance to fully cure before being covered with the next coat of material. Such as body filler that is primed before it's hardened. Hopefully they will stand behind the work- it's not going to get any better- only worse so get it fixed. Good Luck Mark

| Comment | Thank you for your quick response. I had the autobody do the paint job again and just got the truck back. Your answer made perfect sense as to why this happened. | ||
