Guys, looking for some help here. I have a 69 camaro that had the doors shaved and the whole car painted black (dupont 8555 urethane basecoat/clear coat) about a year and a half ago. When I first picked it up you could see the bodywork where the handles used to be. It was obviously done wrong. I took it to another body shop to have them fix it as the old body shop screwed around with me and said they couldn't do it right away as they were too busy. When the new body shop stripped the paint and the filler off the car you could see that it was stitched welded and not welded solid all the way around. So the bodyshop welded it solid and believed that should cure the problem, right?
Well, this weekend I went to a car show and the car was in the sun for an extended period of time (3-4 hours) and sure enough the bodywork was visible again once the paint heated up from the sun. Once you moved the car back in the shade and the paint would cool down, it would go away. Now I know it was welded solid this time as I saw the photos. So why is this happening again?
