Default Oh No Tiny bubbles ! (in my paint)

When I was installing my JWT POP Charger today,
I noticed very tiny bubbles/blisters all over parts
of my hood. They are very small, about the size
of tiny freckles. These blisters are only on the
hood and I'm sure I didn't see them last week
when I waxed the car. Its like the redline paint
has gotten soft and has risen into a little redline
bubbles. You have to be looking real close to notice
it, but it's got me bummed out all the same. Anybody
else notice or have this concern? I know it's been
hot around here lately, but no worse then anywhere
else.

They will "pop"... and expose whitish grey primer. I found mine after they flaked off.

But here is what I did... I looked on this site and it seems that a lot of people have similare issues but not exactly the same. I went to Nissan the very next day, they took pictures and said a rep would be out to meet with me within a month...

6 weeks later (never met the rep) they called me (yesterday) and said it was approved and that its a 2 day job... now I'm worried about color matching since the paint is metalic. My entire hood and driverside fender are getting fully repainted.

Unfortunatly I noticed a faded spot on my roof today when I was wearing sun glasses that are polerized... perhaps I'm overly sensative to the issue but my car only has 6k miles on it... mybe I can ask for a new car... :/

Sorry for the rambling but I hope it helps since I was feeling pretty crapy when I found my paint issues

If it's some sort of a defect they "should" take care of it. Take it to the dealer.

The best answer I got was from someone on this forum... They said that the paint didn't cure properly. And its random on any Z... Some have this probelm on their roofs.
