Hay guys
Ok i had a chance to strip the paint off my Psy today and what i found out is there is no primer on the statue at all. What they did is spray basic skin paint onto the resin, and didn't even fully coat the statue. They sprayed the skin to where the boots start and stopped and then the top of the boot blue paint is over the skin paint and then goes directly onto the resin.
So my guess is since its not think coating and has any bonding chemical into it like a primer paint does, its cracking cause its not sticking.
Even the black on the hair is straight to resin. First time i ever stripped a statue that was pure paint onto resin. Some other companies do this as well, but their base coat wether it be skin or color is still thick and primer based.
So thats what i found out for you guys.

So does this mean that these pieces will start flaking?
Sorry I don't know much about paint application on resin/polystone.

Wow, that is really really sad.
Nice way to cut corners.
Now all your customers can deal with peeling statues, that over time will be completely unfinished.
I wonder if the replacements that everyone is waiting on will be painted the same way?

I checked my replacement just now and it has been about a month and so far so good, no cracks. Hopefully, the paint application is done right.
Thanks for the paint info Vince-Vell.
A funny thing happened when I was checking Psylocke. I had removed her left are and taken her off the base to look for any cracks and when I finished, I went to put the arm back on and the stupid thing fell right off. Thankfully, no damage. I tried it again and it didn't stay on but this time I held on to it. I checked the arm socket and the magnet was gone. The magnet was stuck on the shoulder piece. It was a chore trying to pry the magnet off as it was fairly strong and just flicking it off did not work.
Anyway, locktite glue fixed it up.
