I wrote this yesterday but failed to send it:
Many years of autobody shop ownership & management has taught me there are good, better and best materials sold to the industry, there is a price point that satisfies most of the consumers. We don't know what quality product was used on your trailer and at what price point the upper management said that is good enough, we can live with that end result. They sometimes think, it will get us beyond the warranty period and that is all we need. Without seeing the issue your having, it is impossible to know if it is product or personnel failure. Was a best material applied by a less than stellar painter, or a fantastic painter using inferior products. Taking short cuts in the preparation or mixing of the paints, hardeners or clears can cause all kinds of problems later in the painted parts life. The finished product can roll out the door looking awesome, but fail miserably months or years later. Stopping at any quality automotive paint supplier with the rig so the manager or paint sales rep can see the actual issue, or quality photos should also suffice, so they can pin point the cause. You and I both have seen much older RV's that look fantastic many years after they were originally painted and then we see newer units like yours that look like the paint has failed or is failing. There is ALWAYS a reason. In many cases bringing back to life an inexpensive paint is difficult if not impossible for any length of time. Hope this give you some help on the way to determine the problem and what it may take to rectify.
