Dear Mr. Fix-it, T saw your invitation to enquire about automotive problems in’ last Sunday's North Shore News, Although my problem is not a mechani- cal one, | thought perhaps you may be able to help me figure out what's going on with my °93 Plymouth Sundance. The problem is the paint. It’s falling off. Ive owned the car about four years now. The paint was perfect in 96. Then small dis- colourations, almost like blis- ters began appearing around the windows and on the trunk lid. Those seemed to burst over time and the paint just seemed to let go from the primer underneath. At first I tried touch up paint. but it) was obvious | couldn't keep up. After 2 years the ear looks terrible; mechan: ically it’s tine, but it looks like it had a real bad sunburn and it's in the pecling stage. Almosi like the car is rejecting, its paint job. { know this is nota unique problem because T see other cars around that seem to be similarly afflicted. On the other hand Pye seen other Sundances around that look great, Can vou shed anv light on this problem? {Is there any recourse dat you know of Thanks, Karl Rutka krutka@sd45.be.ca Dear Karl Peeling and blistering paint finish has been a problem with certain vehicles.
