Suggestion
I couldn't have done anything wrong because I completed the whole car successfully, and because im only using a Dual Action Orbital which is highly unlikely to have gotten through the clearcoat (at the very first pass with finishing polish).

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1Original post

Around 6 months ago I got rear-ended by a cab and that had me replace the rear bumper with a new one painted and installed at my Porsche service center. So its Spring and time for a full detail to restore my cars shine, and after polishing the whole car and getting down to the rear bumper, I see black paint getting on the pad on my porter cable orbital! I couldn't have done anything wrong because I completed the whole car successfully, and because im only using a Dual Action Orbital which is highly unlikely to have gotten through the clearcoat (at the very first pass with finishing polish). So could my Porsche Service Center have skipped adding clear coat to my bumper? Or could they have mixed it with the paint? Any ideas on what to do? Isn't it my right to get my bumper re-done? Its Saturday and theyre closed for the weekend, but i'm very furious and disappointed :helpme:

POST 2Original post

It sounds like the clear coat was never even applied, which doesn't surprise me having dealt with bodyshops for a number of years. On Monday, call them and tell them you want to bring it in and have them finish the job by applying a clear coat over the black. Good luck!

POST 3Original post

If they haven't applied the clearcoat, the paint will have to be stripped and the bumper re-primed and painted again... the clearcoat has to be applied while the underlying paint is still tacky, not dry - otherwise the clearcoat will peel off. brad

So thats what GM was doing on all those terrible mid 1980's paint jobs:hilarious:
