Hi everyone...new here as of today and I was hoping I could get some help/answers to my little problem. So I laid some gold down on some truck doors. I used 1shot 4008 fast size and 22k single layer gold. I then brushed on some 1shot 4003 sign sealer. This is how i have always done it, this is how my dad did it, and quite frankly, its the ONLY way I have ever seen it done. The job looked great when finished, but about 6 months down the road, my customer called me and said the gold was flaking off of the truck. Here is where I should mention that this was the SECOND time this happened on the same 2 vehicles. The first time it happened, 1 shot actually reimbursed me because they had sent out a bad batch of the size. But now its happened again and i have no idea why. All temps were correct as was the S.O.P.
When i ran my hands across the door, the gold just came off like dust. Only the gold though. The hand lettered outline and size is still there. Anyone have any idea as to why this has happened?
