Re: Peeling paint prep

I had my '81 El Camino painted in '90. The shop was doing a buncha recall paint jobs on GM vehicles. Seems that it involve several colors, but not all. I remember a silvery-blue, white, a dark greyish silver being the ones at the time. Story was (if I can remember) that there was an issue with the type of paint....like when there was a change in the VOC content. I reserve the right to be wrong, so anyone with the low-down on this please chime in.

However, as they prepared a vehicle for paint, they were using single-edge razor blades to scrape the paint off of the primer. I thought it was weird, but that's what they did.
