Run a leak down? Excess fuels gonna bore wash the cylinder

Haven’t.

Yeh but not sure if it’s from when running which I think is unlikely or once shut down

[t_revz]

 

Mostly bonnet and right B pillar then there’s other imperfections in other panels, am I asking for too much here?

 

When mine was painted I couldn’t find any imperfections

 

Something is very wrong with yours

I'd be taking it back to the painter,  you payed good money to have the car painted properly. Maybe take the car to other paint shops and ask their opinion on what the cause would be (in their experience) before you go back, so that you have an understanding.  
I wouldn't accept anything but perfection, if that's what you were paying for.

Including the insurance payment we would have spent $13,500 on the paint and repairs

I only started testing the oil after building the engine and it’s always had dilution.

Must be an injector then, sticking on shut down. Do u get alot of popping and banging on over run?

Here is our paint issue it’s hard to see but it looks like it was sanded with 80 grit before spraying

Yeah I reckon youre pretty right on that Martin. I used to make polished aluminium bull bars. 24grit to take off the top of the weld. Blend the corners with 120 on 7 1/4" sander. Then to 180 and 360 with orbitals before double polishing. One slip with the heavy grit or a dig (sander not flat) and it was all over. Deep looking swirl mark scratch. If you tried to polished them out with the hard buff wheel it would scallop out the Ali and you'd have a pocket that showed up like dog balls in the sun.

I asked Larry Kosilla what he thinks it is and this is what he said

"Hey bud

It looks like the wetsanding was not done properly

Or the paint could have stretched when painting...who knows. But it needs to be fixed by the painter. Yikes!"

 

Larry is one of, if not the BEST Detailers in the world and is who I turn to whenever I have a query about detailing cars.

Both of my brothers worked at a paint shop and have both said stretching but where there are cross hashes they reckon poor sanding, who knows?? Phil’s seen it and agrees it needs attention probably December or in the new year tbh
