Don, Like many of the other replies, I suspect your
problem lies deeper than the paint. My car has many cracks in the existing
paint. On my car, these cracks are only a reflection of the cracks in the
fiberglass structure. I am still stripping the paint for the car. My plan
is to entirely cover the surface of my body with "veil cloth" or "angel hair", a
very light spun fiberglass cloth that I will apply using WEST epoxy. I will then
have to fair out the surface before primer and paint. I am also adding fillets
to the bracing/bulkheads under the fiberglass skin to help eliminate stress
points that cause the cracks. This process should give a stable base for a
good paint job.
I don't know if this helps, but it is what is
required on my car to get a finish that hopefully will last for many
years.

I'm taking my nose section back to the shop for respray. When they
did it last year something went wrong and it is cracking. Possibly
they didn't remove all the old paint first.
They're having the Dupont rep come in to look at it but I'd like to
get some opinions beforehand.
Any suggestions?? Thanks.
Don
