Nissan 370Z Forum - View Single Post - Clear coat bubbles forming in factory paint

140BPM · 06-21-2014, 11:05 PM

Anyone else experience this issue? I've noticed that a few, very tiny bubbles have appeared on my hood in random places over the last week or so. I did recently polish and seal it a few weeks ago, and they weren't there then. I have a few on my fenders as well. It is factory paint.

Is it the heat? It is my daily driver and I am forced to park in the sun; been over 90 here recently.

I've been searching all day and I've been reading a lot about Nissan factory paint defects. I came across at least one post in the forum archives where someone mentioned it happens in the summer but they disappear in cooler temps. Can anyone confirm this observation?
