Hey all,

A few years back I decided to take my Vanagon ice skating near South
Bend, IN, which resulted in some body work and a paint job.  Of course,
since I'm such a cheap son of a...I had a chain shop, call them BAADCO,
do the work. Needless to say the job sucked, they gave me some money
back and we settled.  Now the paint is peeling off the smooth, glossy,
factory paint. It looks like they didn't scuff up the old paint at all
before applying new paint.

Here's my questions...How screwed am I?  Is this the type of thing where
the paint has to be chemically stripped off ? If so what is involved and
how much could it cost?  The body looks great with very little seam
rust.
