Fiat Peeling Paint - Hammerite?

[trevskoda]

The fireplace is at a low level..No ladder needed (unless Trev is a Leprechaun ?)

First time i was up a ladder I was down a well.

Rung approach, then? ... The slow climb, but the rapid descent, aka 'Shut your eyes and walk about a bit'

Trev was told to paint up to the sea level, he kept going because he could see all of it

Just caught up with this thread again, our bonnet is now satin black. A good dose of wet and dry, 4 coats of 'Plasticote aerosol primer (2 cans), a light sanding followed by 4 coats of Plasticote satin black. I have also done the same with the bumper, but that was a couple of years ago and it's still good hence the decision to do the bonnet

Rattle cans are a waste of money and rubbish as only a single pack paint, but if you are happy then me to big ears.

I see this thread has been running a while. I have a 2017 Auto-Trail Tribute Panel Van Conversion and guess what; major paint peel problems; roof, front above the cab and now the bonnet has started. I've already had it resprayed above the cab once. Does anyone know if there is any recognition by Fiat about this or if anyone is taking legal action?

Not sure I want to even think about how bad this could get. A respray would cost thousands and I guess and there's no guarantee it'll last.
