Needs some advice from any paint guru's

[TWAG]

My nova is going back to have the paintwork sorted out this week. IMO the whole car needs painting although that's not the opinion of the painter. For the those havnt seen my build thread the car was painted a bare shell back in July.

Im just looking for some advice on what has caused the problems I have.

Firstly the roof has started blistering not long after it was painted and to be be fair the painter has excepted it needs stripping right back, my concern which was confirmed today was that this blistering may appear over the rest of the car.

Heres some pics of the roof





and here's a pic of what I found today on the b pillar, this has only appeared recently.



These are the other issues I have on pretty much every panel. It's very hard to see in the pictures but basically it looks like sanding marks in the paint. You can't feel them but with the sun on it, it looks s##t. What do you think has caused this?









Then there's the following problems, what do you think has caused this?










Any advice would be appreciated.

The bottom few pics look like the paint has not been flattened off enough so gives orange peeled effect.....

I don't know much about paint. Maybe not enough prep or too much humidity in the paint shop?

I had a corsa that broke out in those micro blisters. Think it's something to do with damp as seen a few cars come out with them that have been laid up. No excuse on this though.

I found a few imperfections in my paint job which disappointed me (car went back a few times), but nothing on the scale of that. Guessing you paid top money for it as well given the extent of the rest of the work you have done on the rebuild.

Microblisters on the roof and pillars by the look of it.

Have you had a car cover on it?

I'd be asking Nick J for his advice on this, he's done plenty of painting.

You must be fuming though.

No the car has not a had a cover on it and has been stored outside under a carport. I have not washed it with anything other than plane water.

Just remembered my previous civic did as well about 6 months after having the bonnet painted in winter. Bodyshop blamed it on the heat of the engine.

I've said it before, I will never have another car resprayed again. I know that doesn't help your situation but it was just far too much stress and hassle and it's never perfect.

yes I paid over 3k which I am currently gutted about. Took a lot for me to commit to pay this kind of money but I just wanted a perfect paint job. Now there talking about repairing certain panels and blending the paint in which I feel really uneasy about.
