Just got this ... one of the first jobs will be to 'fix' the paint work: looks like primer wasn't fully vented when base coat went on...

So lots and lots of micro blisters !

@Stuey2uk
Pictures!
Well played.

Has shades of @puma2 about it. Think the side vents are custard on Paul's.

Thanks scotte / Ardent - I may have to get VERY busy with a "touch up" pen :-)

Which panel is the close up of? If its on the front then looks like stone chips off the road, if on the side then maybe a shotgun!

I agree with above, dont rush into anything on the paintwork side of things as there are lots of options but you need to know the car is good underneath and you are still going to look good at 40mph in the meantime!

Point taken - I'll try and get 'her' on a lift to have a good root around.
