Both my escorts have doen it now.

had them Re-painted, been skimmed with filler etc and then painted but still keeps slowly coming back.

Its a bloody pain, you can flat it back a couple of times and polish out but it still comes back......

At least its not just mine !!!

happens to most of them after time.

mine has the same too will get them removed at some time and will have them resprayed

When i had mine painted first time the spray shop thought it may be down to the oven, so they let it air dry second time round.....still came back. Must something to do with the spoiler material....?

Not much point in having it painted then untill it gets bad.

Mines getting bad, one of the bubbles popped the other day

May get it re-done again soon to tidy it up.

Add mine to the list too, exactly the same

I haven't noticed it on the main spoiler though !!..........odd

it's air pockets in the spoiler which expand with heat, usually show up in hot weather or when the spoiler has been painted & baked in oven, not sure what you can do to solve the problem though

they need to be rubbed right down & sealed with some funky primer, theres a chap i know that used to do lots of them for Fords back in the day, he charges around Ł200 to prep/seal & repaint it.

Yeah same here had it done once and now its starting to come back.

adamski frst

as said my lower one has it here and there, the upper in 1 place too..

but as said if GOOD primer is used when rubbed back and resprayed it should not come back

DaveEscos

I have a mint lower spoiler for sale with NO paint reaction whatsoever..and i mean.. whatsoever! completley fine

so will be fine when resprayed your colour or a bonus if yours is red!


also have the upper aswell

PM me if you are interested

mind did have it bad, my cusin is a painter, when mine went for engine build in 2005 it was away for about 4 month, he had it befor it went, and it didn't come back till i had the engine run in nearly 6 month, he said he had primed it and baked it in with other jobs about 35 times befor it stopped reacting then he "gel coated" it and its not come back yet, i said i could send him some more to do, he said "dont bother"

mine has bubbles coming up on it, it needs painting, so now it would be a good idea to whack on a WOLF rear spoiler and get the lot done.
my other escort cosworth didn't have this problem

Rene

got the same here .. thinking about the WRC spoiler tho

they need stripping back completely, all the dodgy bits need drilling out (its foam inside) then fibreglass the holes, then rub down and a good flexible filler.

I did mine over a year ago and before I did it, they bubbles were horendous, REALLY bad...

now, its perfect still
