spotted this thing today :(

I washed my car today after a while, it's been raining here all week, and found this small bubbles at rear. Car is repainted year ago, before painting nothing was there.
Fix? Let it be?
I am afraid if I try to fix it, body shop won't match the color and will be visible. Opinions?

bodyshop will match the colour as the paint will still be fresh from last year and not faded.

I can expect not to see any orange peel?

Nothing to do with how faded the paint is, any colour of paint has to be mixed, depends how good they are at their job.

You just have to let them know you are not prepared to pay for shite colour matches. Simple.

its pointless getting it sanded down and repainted as its going to happend again. its mosture coming through the metal underneath and getting under the paint. attack the rust then get it repainted.

That Id say is un primed body filler Im afraid, are your arches rolled?

The filler will need digging out and re applying

can that be solved only at this small point or whole side needs repaint?

Shouldnt be a problem just to paint that quarter, but for an accurate colour match it maybe worth getting the door/rear door done

Depends how good a bodyshop it is....
