Re: Paint Problem
I would have to suspect CC failure given the conditions, but it does look a little unusual with the dots like that...how does it feel?
On a side note, you leave that car sitting for 9 months at a time and don't have any trouble starting it up etc. when you get down there?

Re: Paint Problem
I'm going to clean a spot really well tomorrow and look at it with a jewelers loupe, It actually feels fairly smooth but I'll look really close tomorrow, no problems with starting, I disconnect battery before I go but I leave my carnival equipment up north not started all winter and don't have any problems starting in the spring

Re: Paint Problem
That looks like clear coat failure unfortunately.

Re: Paint Problem
I'm pretty sure you guys are right, I was able to take a picture thru the loupe,much to my suprise Think I'll just see if I can repaint those areas and see what happens , If you click on the picture you can zoom in pretty big, looks like bubbles

Sounds like you've been reading our forum.
From the pictures it looks liike clearcoat failure. It's possible it's some type of contaminant "on" the paint but again... from the pictures it looks like clearcoat failure.
Keep us updated as to what you find out...

Re: Paint Problem
I'm Pretty sure you are right on the clearcoat issue, I picked up a fender of the same year, color and it has exactly the same problem I'm guessing it's a heat related problem, but I can experiment on the junkyard fender before I figure how to fix the problem on the car

I looked at the junkyard fender really close and it seems evident there is no clearcoat in the middle of the "bubbles"

Re: Paint Problem
Um...next car I guess you should put some suntan lotion on before you leave it out for the summer.
