Paint Bubbling/Corrossion - Recommendations?

[CypherP]

Hi all,

Recently i've noticed a small amount of paint bubbling on my O/S front wheel arch, and also a very small amount on the corner of the boot lip. I want to get this taken care of before it becomes worse, but wondered whether anyone had any recommendations for paint technicians or good companies who can sort this out?

I live just outside of Guildford and would like to try and find a recommended paint specialist that isn't going to empty my bank account, and someone fairly local so i don't have to leave my car miles away. Does anyone have anyone to recommend? I'd appreciate any help.

Thanks,

Cypher

I think i'd be having a chat with BMW!!

Well thats what i thought initially as i thought there was a certain guarantee on paint but the car is a 2003 and not sure whether i'd be outside that time frame now?

Bump. Anyone have any ideas about this? Is it something thats only covered on the warranty? I'm not sure if the paint is guaranteed for a certain number of years or below certain mileage?

I'll try and take some good photos of the paint bubbling and a small rust patch on the bottom of the boot. They aren't really that big, but the bubbling around the wheel arch is the worst part, and i wouldn't have expected that on my BMW. Especially considering its only 6 years old.
