<VV> GM QUALITY (no CORVAIR)

[corvairduval at cox.net]

Yes, the Ford dealers in Richmond did way more repaint work than the GM
dealers. The paint stores and the painters at the Ford dealers were in hog
heaven for many years!

BTW, all domestic manufacturers had the delamination problems to some
extent, and it all stemmed from eliminating the UV protection in the top
coats (at the request of the OEMs to shave costs) which lead to UV
degradation of the primer coat.

Another penny saved/pound foolish decision! ggg

Guy,

I believe that was an issue with all domestic vehicles at the time. I had an
88 F-150 that Ford did a total repaint on because the paint started peeling
off.
