Default Ughhh.....

Ok, I have not been able to drive my car since May cause of things like this. First it was the hood bubbling up, but my dad got that lined out though. After that the clear around the nose bird started flakeing off and then after putting paint back on the bumber, it started these 'bubbles'. It has just not been my year, I even came close to selling the car cause of this crap but I decided otherwise. I put the car up in Novemeber so it looks like I won't have much time to drive it and enjoy it at all in 2006.

Anywho, Its been sanded down and been through all the recommended prep work over 5 times and each time it does this:







Its hard to get a good picture of them. You can see them, but can't feel them. Dad broke his leg and can't work on it anymore, and I am not a body man so I can't do anything. I am looking for someone to try on it though. I was just curious on what some of you think is causing it, or what you think about it in general?

It does suck. The rest of the car looks amazing though. Driver side quarter still needs another go over with the buffer, besides that shes amazing, and BLACK...I mean really black.

Yea black cars look awsome in my opinion IF they are are clean but they definately are challenging to keep looking nice (oh yeah if you cant hear it before you see it their is no point )

After more people chime in on this, I'll post some pics of the rest of the car outside the problem area.

Is the front bumper OEM or aftermarket?
It could be the actual composite materials reacting with the pimer or paint...

What time of the year are you painting the car? I had my IROC painted twice. Once in the summer and had that same problem (humidity did it) and once in the fall and everything came out nice.

He started in spring but it did reach into summer. He also painted some other places at the same time and they turned out great so its confusing.

It is the factory bumper.
