Hi all,
I just wonder if anybody has encountered the following problems.
The front part of my Accord is covered with mud after lawn mowing a
few days ago
in the apartment complex and the fact that the ground is saturated
with water after
weeks of rain recently in Pacific Northwest. Upon removing the mud, I
discovered
that a few places under the mud has developed bubbles with size closed
to a penny.
Apparently, the clear coat paint has turned translucent in those
places and the area
has"growed" up like a bubble. I was surprised that happened in the
bumper as it is
made of plastic and thus will not rust. There is also a small bubble
developed
in the hood lid too.
I don't know exactly what's wrong, but the car has no bubble problems
before and it is
mostly used in California before. It looks like some debris kick up
from the mower or
the lawn clipper has poked into the clear coat and water vapor trapped
inside it expanded
after repeating patterns of sunshine/hot temperature and rains/cold
days in the last
couple days.
Do you have similar experience after rain? If yes, please share your
experience.
Thanks,
Pete.

Your problem is a poor-quality repaint. That is not factory paint you're
looking at.

I own this car from Day 1 and it has not been repainted according to
my memory, nor has
the car been involved in any accident that required paint jobs.

OK.
In that case the mud was probably something out of Episode 45 of the
X-files. Don't get it on your hands!

I've got a similar problem with a '98 Accord EX. The clear coat on the roof
at the rear edge is deteriorating. I've checked with the previous owner, and
the roof has not been painted.
