Decent prep should not have caused these bubbles. Also, does the guy have an oven to bake the car in? Can make a lot of difference if not "cooked" as it won't harden as quick


Keeping schtum. Mostly.

Just got off the phone to the bloke, which is a surprise.

He says if its something they have done wrong then he will sort it. He did say though that if it's anything to do with the old paint underneath then its nothing to do with him. I thought this was a bit strange cus I have photos of it with no paint on the bonnet at all when he was doing it....

Its going down to him next monday so will find out whats caused it then. My mates Alfa 155 Q4 had the same problem and it turned out to be moisture in the paint apparently, the ice was causing it to expand inside the paintwork and blister.... apparently. I dont know alot about paint, is this possible?

if theres old paint underneath then its everything to do with him as he's obviously not prepped it right??

90% of the quallity of the finnish is prep, try popping one, if water pops out its either:

too much moisture in his airline
not de-contanminated properly before paint
incorect paint / hardener ratio


ice really shouldnt effect fresh paint unless the guys a retard.
