Hi All, Not sure what the best thing is for me to do about this one. I have a paint bubble about 10mm dia. right in the middle of my bonnet. Do I just leave it or try and burst it and touch it up. Im not sure what has caused it, anyone else had one or knows what the best course of action is. Cheers

Chipsaway should be able to sort it and do a faultless job to boot.....never used em but seen really good results. Good luck!

Personally I would ask a bodyshop thats got a good rep at dealing with fibre glass cars to take a look and give me a quote.

If I had a TVR I wouldn't feel comfortable with Dave's suggestion of chipsaway

OK Cheers, I must admit I hadn't given chips away a thought, its just annoying that its just suddenly appeared from no where.

I missed the factory for quite a while, I also missed working at the local Accident Repair Specialist too! Now I'm afraid I've got used to being a kept woman

Sorry to burst your bubble...... excuse the pun, but chipsaway can't do starmist colours they tell me.

Had the same problem over the last couple of weeks, two bubbles about 1cm dia on the nearside rear wing, and lots of mini ones on the boot. I've had to leave the car out in the sun for the last few weeks, which may well be the cause. No underlying damage. Was wondering if bursting is just going to create more problems (don't burst your spots son, they'll spread)
