Frustrated with my 2010 GTR

[man03999]

Noticed these since day one when i picked the this used 2010 gtr. It's only on the hood of the car. Can someone tell me what these are?

Using Rupes 15 mark 2 with blue, yellow, and white pads with little improvement. Thinking about trying MF pads next and wet sand as my last resort.

Thanks in advance!

Looks like solvent pop.

Looks like the beginning of clear coat failure.

Have you looked if there is any tape lines around the edges of the area this is at? Cause it's looks like a bad repainted surface or an extreme overspray of paint. Open the hood and look for tape lines.

Looks like a bad clear coat spray that didn't smooth out, possibly from over spray nearby.

overspray? any paintwork done to it?

[JKDesign]

Definitely looks like it has been resprayed and had a solvent pop issue during the curing process

[JCDetails]

overspray or solvent pop.


In any event, get a paint thickness gauge on it before you chase it too far. That black nissan paint is very thin and soft, you don't want to go too hard on it.

I agree with the overwhelming responses. I looked at your pic's before reading the responses to the thread and the first thing that popped into my mind was:
1.) Solvent Pop
2.) Re-sprayed hood

Then I read the rest of the responses... So sounds like we have quorum.

Thanks for the overwhelming responses. I have check the paint with my paint thickness gauge it shows 135-150um range which it seems like factory area. I have no checked for tape line under the hood, ill do that today.

Will wet sanding this help? Or Is this below the clear coat layer?

Thanks again!
