Unfornately the company I work for is shutdown this week (of course not unfornately for me
); otherwise, I would show this to a few people at work to see what could be a cheap way in fixing this. When I go back to work I'll ask a few chemists to see what can be done. Maaco does sound like a good choice after re-reading the posts.
BTW the average Dry Filim Thickness of paint applied is .8-1.2 mils which isn't alot of paint applied.
