Gingerbreadman you are rite in saying this shouldn't of happened, yes paint does bubble when it gets really really hot but the new paint should of performed the same as the original. I would be very careful as to how they go from here. If there was an issue between the primer and topcoat then it will still exist and they will just overpaint it, i would want it stripping or sanding back down and redoing. Good luck and i hope it gets sorted

Haha you're the first person to agree with me with your first post. It's ready for collection (Friday), I'm picking it up Monday. It's roughly an hours drive home, let's see how the paint looks when I pull onto home turf.....
