My 2015 VW got a hood and front bumper repaint due to rock chips. Tornado Red. 35 days after the repaint I took it for PPF installation. PPF guy noted that the rockchip areas are noticeable under the repaint; means the painter did not sand down the rock chip crater prior to repainting. Fast forward to 35 days after repaint: PPF installer noted that there are small layers of pain that came off and is attached to the PPF before he even did the squeegee maneuver. Looks to me like a layer of red paint came off. I do not see primer exposed.
Did the above topmost layer of paint come off because of poor prepping? If so, is the remedy to sand it all down to deeper layers and redo the paint? Or is this a problem with the PPF installer damaging the paint? Asking because the painter said he has never seen this in the 40 years he has done work. The repaint isnt great: lots of orange peeling. There is what looks like a grain of sand covered with the repaint and feels like Braille.
