“I have a 1989 Buick Park Avenue. The car was repainted but the paint has been coming off 3 or 4 years after it was repainted. I see a white coat and the original gray coat, which tells me they didn't prepare the surface correctly. I have paint peeling off on the door, roof and trunk. I thought they were suppose to do a proper paint job. Instead, they did a quickie that didn't last. Please help and make them repaint the car the right way. …”
