Bill;
What it sounds like to me is there is something underneith, perhaps primer
or filler, that wasn't fully cured before the top coat of paint was put on.
As the paint and filler continued to cure, they likely shrunk, leaving you
with the acne problem. Whatever it is you are going to have to strip it off
and repaint the car. This is one of the reasons that I would rather buy a
car with a worn paint job rather then a fresh one, you would be amazed what
some guys can do with chicken wire and bondo. Maaco is a cut rate painter, I
doubt whether they will cover the problem but you have nothing to loose by
asking
Best Regards

One of our cars was painted by Macco a couple years ago (before we bought
it), the paint is now suddenly bubbling up everywhere. Sort of looks like
rain drops on a wax job, like little goose bumps. Anyone ever dealt with
Macco's warranties? The bumps are solid, cannot compress them with a
fingernail. Anyone have a clue?

chrome. They also have a tendancy to scrub the chrome with the sander here
and there as well, so be sure to take off your most highly prized pieces
yourself.
