Presure washer killed my paint

[1LoC10]

Went to the Do it your self wash today... My paint started to blow off, some parts are light blue, some are gray, and some bare metal... it wouldnt stop peeling so I just kept on spraying and spraying blasting it off..lol
got home and started to sand it some, and prob just spray some rattle can primer on it tommorow. Oh and this was the first time I washed it all sense I bought it, if you can believe that..lol
Just click my avatar pic, if you don't know what it looked like before

What The He!!?

[1LoC10]

lol, I did start to sand it to get the rest, but it pretty much blew paint off of everything but the hood... guess the guy I bought it from gave it a quick spray job to sell it.. I dunno

[Blue'72]

That wasn't latex house paint was it?

[layedoutnoma]

its prolly a good thing.. now you can blast it all down and give it a proper paint job

[1LoC10]

I dont know anything about paint, but all the parts the blew to the ground are not hard, they are bendy and stretchy.. most paint chips I have ever seen are hard.. I dunno

[Longhorn Man]

that is just sick... I always liked the way your truck looked

[tavenner13]

water colors would have given a better paint job!!

[cdowns]

lots of people are payin real big bucks nowadays for those type of authentic PATINA paint

[ghackett1]

Well I must say you seem to be taking it really well. I go nuts if a bug splats on my paint. All I can say is hang in there and at least now you can see your foundation for future paint jobs!!!!!!!!!! I mean I can't beleive that happened.

[1LoC10]

well the truck already has some rust, So I knew it needed body work and paint anyway.... it made me mad at first, but then I got over it, sanded it down some, and then went back and blasted it some more..lol

I had a friend paint his own car and the exact same thing happened. It was his first time painting a car. Went to the paint store bought the paint and primer. When he finished painting the car, it looked like a professional paint job. But there was one problem, he did not put any hardener in the paint. After a couple days and some rain showers, the paint fell off. Looks like the same thing happened to your paint.

bigfredtn, now that's funny... no hardener!

I agree....
Put a pair of big ol' "Fred's Speedy Service" stickers on the doors and drop in a monstrous big block with exhaust cut-outs.... SLEEPER!

[stllookn]

Paint and all that shiny stuff are highly overrated! Stickers on the doors and some painted wheels and drive it! Personnaly, I would be a little sick too...and looking for that sleaze bag PO!

[72CSTC5]

Uh oh, better get Maaco!!!!!

[GREASEMONKEY72]

[muddyole 69]

JD Blitz Black and steelies with your bfg's would look killer !!!

[Bishops Trucks]

That sucks! Body prep means everything.

[special-K]

Gummy paint=a hardener issue.

[arkracing]

Take a scotch-brite pad to the rest of it and leave it alone.

I agree that the "patina" thing is the rage these days.

[fourty1]

Man, that'$ a Bummer,...
But one the up side,.. you have so many choices,..

I think,... ' patina thing ', is only the rage if it's on someone else's truck,....
sorry to read it,..

That's one powerful pressure washer!

Besides destroying the paint, 'looks like it blew out your clearance lights, tore off your outside mirrors and ate your rear bumper. Geez.

Maybe I should recommend that car wash to my worst enemy. Or maybe I should use it instead of buying that plasma cutter I've dreamed about.

Bummer for you though.

lol, you guys are funny...... the pics kinda play with your eyes, the light gray parts, and the different color blue parts are what peeled off... the rest of the truck is just dull from me trying to sand it after the fact
