My car has paint bubbles...:(

[Fsrkia]

how to get rid of them?

[Lv3338]

take needles and pop these bubbles...hopefully it will go away....

 

Generally, there's nothing you can do...it's due to the quality of work performed.

[Newkid]

go and show the bubbles to the shop that did your paint job. they wld need to re-do the paint job

[Fsrkia]

really no way to get rid of the stupid bubbles? sob sob

[Leech]

nehmind lah. what's outside the car does not belong u anyway. wait till u get scratches from paws of cats and dents from car doors etc. look within. it's the air u breathe.

Bubbles is bcoz the paint area was not prepared properly. The paint don't stick and start flaking off.

It means the whole patch will get worse and worse.

 

The only recourse is to do a proper paint job.

[Fsrkia]

will the bubbles grow? or they just stay as it is

if they staying as it is actually i am fine with it coz not very obvious...

[Speddevil]

That might be difficult..

If you do not wish to go back to the painter, you may have to DIY it yourself.

 

Gently, sand down the bubble, use a cloth put some touch up paint on the cloth and rub it over the sanded part of the bubble. Always use a small portion to work on first and if alright to improve on the touch up.

 

Happy motoring!

means i have to respray no matter what?

[Jamstart]

Bro, pay peanuts or not, you should go back to the workshop. It is their job undone, you should point out their bad job.

[Fsrkia]

what kind of sandpaper to buy?

have anyone try it before?

[Kb27]

The whole area is not prepared correctly.

Don't waste time trying to patch the bubbles. It's a matter of time, and more bubbles may come up.

 

Leave it as it is or wait till you cannot tahan, then get a complete respray....and get a proper respray.

 

Cheap, usually means a short-cut and bad job.

[Fsrkia]

its the boot area as i think they use putty for the spoiler holes

will get them to do a respray no choice....
