Re: Drip Rail Paint Cracking after 10 years a Restoration?
At this point the only way to repair is like you said. Clean out the sealant, reseal and paint the top. But the paint shouldn't peal there if the automotive grade seam sealer is used. I'm thinking they used the wrong product. A good body shop will know what to use. There are other companies out there with good sealants but the shops I worked at used 3M products. A self leveling sealant would be ideal. It would flow in and be smooth by the time it dried. Get a shop that works on classic cars. They will care for your truck better and keep it locked up inside at night. Also make sure they are in a good part of town and their lot is well lit at night. Our trucks are becoming very desirable and we don't want scum getting ahold of it.
