Quick qestion guys....
I have found a coupla small 'bubbles' on the bodykit that was just fitted and painted.
The bodyshop guy reckons it is the resin lifting up from the kit and not the actual paintwork that he did. Qestion is ...is that plausible?? or is it more likely to be his paintwork??

Cheers,
Mel

I had this on my front and rear bumper when I got the car
turned out to be the paint
was told by Toyotas body shop it was due to moisture under the paint during the prep work
had to have a complete respray on both
bubbles looked like acne   s:lol: :lol: s:lol:

sounds like teh issue VX220s often suffer from from teh factory


in which case it's dodgy fibreglass, which they have allowed to get moisture in when they made it

in the VX world it's usually a new panel under warranty as a simple repaint will not fix it
