#1: paint work bubbling and cracking Author: bisphenol-a, Location: AntarcticaPosted: Wed Aug 31, 2011 11:43 pm ---- my bud's 206 seems to have more paint problems now.
first off we see bubbles on the bodywork like there are air pockets between the paint and the top coat.
on other parts of the car the paint appears to have crack into many lines like a frosted snow flake pattern. no bubbles no damage on the top coat, just the colored paint cracking beneath it. the paint just cracked up on its own and it looks like a blemish from afar.
what causes this? would a trip to a car detailer for a wax help ease up those bubbles? or is it doomed for a respray if it were to be fixed..

The cracking sounds like a reaction in the paint.
I've heard of the bubbles problem before, but normally on the spoilers.
Some pictures might help identify the problems though

cheers guys

Even check the manufacturer mark on the windscreen. Doesn't mean it's had an accident, just shows if the screen has been replaced.
Most of the time there is a little give away, it's just knowing where to look.
