solvent pop?
Hi guys, I need some help. I had a 63 ford painted that had been setting in a shed for 10-12 years, It was faded and dull but looked to be sound(no cracks etc.in the paint) The paint shop applied a primer over the red paint (not orginal) and then painted it red. After a few weeks tiny spots began to appear which have been identified as solvent pop. The paint shop says the problem is in the red coat which they painted over and not in their work. Is this possible for solvent pop in an old paint job to show through a new top coat of primer and paint ? The problem was not apparent prior to the last paint job. Thanks for any input.

They are blowing smoke up your tailpipe. That solvent pop is from them. They either put on the base too fast between coats or put the clear on too fast between coats.
That solvent pop hole goes all the way through the clear to the base. This is not good. The clear will fail. Think of the solvent pop as a tiny hole in your paint. Make them fix it.
Think of your paint as a surgical glove. It must be intact to work.
