Bubbles In the Paint

pokeyl · 04-03-2014, 01:53 PM

Front and rear bumpers have small bubbles, raised blisters in the paint. Anyone? Pine sap is what one detail shop said, only on the plastic bumpers? Help, I know Nissan will do nothing as the car has 46K miles on it.

Have you had the panels repainted at all?

op- not on mine, but bird crap and sap can do that if not washed.

you'll need to get that repainted.

bumpers are painted at a different plant.. i could be a manufacturing defect.
or i could be some dumbarse sprinkling acid at your car...
or just tree sap, bird crap.

without thinking too deep, get estimates from a bodyshop and see if it make sense to use your insurance.
just fix it and get it over with.
