| | | Damn, I would say that just really bad paint, like thier were air bubbles and didn't wait long enough to spray the clear. A high peed might be able to level out most of them. |

| | | Possibly a repaint with poor surface prep and/or paint mixing prep or spraying technique. I don't think your going to be able to do much in the way of eliminating those pits. |

| | | not a repaint(atleast on mine) cause i know its factory paint still.... hail damage is possible but i would be skeptical honestly. i havent found any other more valid thoughts though |

| | | Whether it's factory or a repaint it's bad prep work. Doesn't look like it was sanded properly. It almost looks like it's body filler that has been painted.

| | | Looks like fish eye in the paint from not putting fish eye killer in the paint prior to painting......
fish eye is contributed to silicone from wax, oils, and containments not removed because of lousy prepping before painting...putting a few drops of fish eye killer before hand would have helped prevent this.....obvisely this car may have been spot repaired and spot painted from a outside body-paint shop.... |
