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

Nope, should be perfect! Specialy if they paint exotics sports cars....

Haven’t.

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

 

Id run a leak down and comp test once warm just to be sure theres nout else wrong.

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?

as unbelievable as it may sound....

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

    • Nah, shouldn't have made any difference. Reds on, or car running, should be same same for what you were doing.

    • I've owned a few scooters over the years, a Vespa PX oil burner was my first scooter, followed by a few others, including a little 50cc BeeWee that I used as a barracks bike, and I've had a blast on all of them, they really are the cheapest for of city/suburb transport around The only issue with scooters in Australia is lots of people look down on them due to their size,  maybe they need a big bike to make up for something else where they are lacking, unlike Europe and Asia where every man an their dog owns one, and now that filtering is legal in NSW, local traffic is never a issue Not to say I haven't owned my share of big cc bikes over the years, but they were for more blasting through the hills or Hwy riding where it needed to sit on Hwy speeds Safety wise, I ride like everyone is always trying to kill me, everyone is running a red, or running stop/give way signs, or generally asleep at the wheel, which most people are duringtheir commute, I also ride really safe, and give myself, and everyone else enough room in case I need to pull some hasty evasive actions, I've done a few rider training days over the years, which has come in handy on more than a few occasions  As for mods, there's nothing really, and yes your right about aftermarket exhaust, all you get is loud and obnoxious noises from them, like every 250-300 cc you hear with a aftermarket muffler, in saying this I did put a rear muffler from a 125 Aprilla on one of my old 125 scooters, it was horrendous and no amount of full face helmet and ear plugs would dampen that noise As for coming from the Harley, and what a overpriced POS that was, I no longer do big rides as my poor old busted joints ache after about 1/2 an hour of riding, long cruises are so much more enjoyable now in a car, so a big bike would be pointless
