[QUOTE="fender66, post: 153439, member: 2990"] Wasilvers.... My limited knowledge of these bubbles is that they are like a cancer to the metal. I've read a few explanations and from my research I've learned that some of this is caused from poor bare metal cleaning and primer problems. If it is indeed what I'm thinking of....it's hard to get rid of. You can repair it, but the areas effected and surrounding need to be cut out and new metal welded in replacement. Chances are, once these are fixed, other areas will pop up soon after. I actually had this happen to one of my cars back in the early 80s. My car was an import and I was told that this was the only way to fix it. I sold it before it got worse so I don't know the end result. My bubbles were at the front edge of my hood, and starting around the edges of the fender wells. Like I said though....this is limited experience and I'm in nw way an expert on this (or anything for that matter). Hope you can get it fixed easily and inexpensively. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
