Hi all
I recently purchased a classic car that has what looks like solvent pop bubbles in the paint and I am wondering if anything can be done to remove or greatly diminish the appearance of the flaws short of repainting the car. If you look closely at the photos you can see the effected areas. I can live with it as is but if I can do something without repainting the car I would feel better . Thanks!

my thinking is that its to sporadic to be solvent pop. it looks more like who ever sprayed the paint had some moisture in their air system. I would bet if you pop one of the bubbles you'll get some water. now the bad news only way to fix would be sand it down past the bubbles and repaint.
