I have a 914 with fiberglass flairs. A the top of each flair near the seam the paint is bubbling. A complete re paint is not in the cards. Does anybody have experience with such a problem? Thanks

Another potential source of bubbling is excessive solvent that gets trapped in filler and/or under too much paint that flash dried too quickly. Sometimes called “solvent pop”.

Solvent pop would be more common on a very fresh paint job.

Could also have been from poor prep prior to paint and related to adhesion problems.

Really too many possible causes. None of them are easy to fix.
