sfry,
Why do think that is a repaint? It may be, but I'd be surprised if it is.

I have strong doubts that the problem shown is "fiberglass gassing out". From what I have seen, when you have a gas problem, it will normally cause "large blisters". Blistering, or delaminating of the layers as mentioned way earlier in this post are normally much larger, some as much as a 50 cent piece and are rarely uniform in size. Many times they will actually seperate from the body, leaving raw, stringy fiberglass in it's place. Much like a scab on a wound.

I wish I had the time right now. I could duplicate the above on a test panel by painting it, putting a heat lamp to it for 15 minutes and I you would have what is shown above.

Very easy to fix, nothing major, but a true pain in the arse and the wallett!

If there are any SPF owners closer to us with this problem, I'd love to do an inspection. I think we're down to one of three problems. Water in the airlines while painting, (high humidity), the paint was simply applied to "wet", or the raw bodies simply weren't prepped enough before the body work actually started.

Just my 2-cents. Did I mention we are having a special on re-paints next month? OK, OK, bad joke.

SFRY, UNLESS you meant it has to be resprayed? Now that I agree on

DV...I've been proven wrong so many times before, what's another one? But...not this time!
