Default How to repair this?

The following pictures are on the headlight bucket of my 2000 Trans Am. This has not always been here. Hit a deer about 10 years ago and had the front end worked on.

The car needs a wash, so please look past that.

Can I wet sand this out or am I ready for a new paint job?

It feels almost like salt or sand on the paint..

Well, the pics won't load from work...

Looks like the paint sweated. That won't buff out, you'll need to repaint.

Looks a lot like solvent pop to me. Check this link out:

About Solvent Pop

Wetsanding may be able to fix it, but it will likely need a respray.

I'd recommend going to a different shop.
