"Blue spots" under my paint job

**BLKONBLKONBLK** · 07-30-2010, 10:38 PM

So i have a brand new chevy truck (black) and as I was washing it today i noticed what appeared to be blue spots under the clear coat on the hood. The spots are smaller than a pencil eraser but the truck is brand new and i have no idea what or why they are there. The finish is smooth to the touch. These spots are only on the hood

Does anyone know what this is and how do i fix it ?

Thanks

If its under the clear then there is nothing you can do about it.

Some pictures may be benefical. If they are under the CC the only way to fix it would be a repaint of the hood. But 1st step is to determine what they are and where they are... Pictures may help...

What is this Avatar you speak of. Is it a sealant or a glaze

The avatar is the picture in the upper left hand corner just below the screen name. In my case it is the picture of my car, just below where it says DARK HORSE...

I'm liking your new avatar as well Corey. Your paint looks so smooth and silky that it reminds me of strawberry whip cream

So went to the dealer yesterday and they told me that the car was probably wet sanded and sealed / reclearcoated. The bodyshop guy told me that it was rail dust and they will need to essentially wet sand repaint and reclearcoat the entire front end of the car - So much for having a brand new truck

1200 miles and a new paint job - GREAT
