Real Car paintwork problem
The pics below are of the paintwork on my year 2000 MX5, about 6 months ago these marks started appearing in it and are very noticeable after it's been cleaned. It's affecting the bonnet and boot, not so much the sides. It doesn't look like its really surface finish and a bit of polish didn't touch it.
Any ideas what I can do, might be my wedding car in 5 weeks.

strange! has the car been recently repainted or such?
doesn't look like your usual paint/clear problems so without actually seeing it in person i would guess it's gonna need stripping n repainting. take it to your local bodyshop for a bit of advice.

Looks like when it was painted it had a silicon problem affect the paint, did they start to show up when you washed it more ?
It would have taken some doing but those tinted polishes might have been able to hide it. As mentioned above without seeing it in the flesh very difficult to work it out. Go to at least 2 body shops and ask them their professional opinion. Did you buy it privately or from a dealer ? If it was from a dealer I'd be tempted to go back there with it and see if they know anything about it. I presume you did an HPI check on it when you bought it ? If not I'd do one now just to check.

solvent pop or water blisters from the primer or base coat, as already stated respray I'm afraid Dan,usually caused when wet flatting base coat or primer and not throughly dried out before top coat,

looks as though it could be pitting, where bits of tiny grit are stuck on the surface and work into the paint. A clay bar may get rid of it, followed by a tcut and polish. Worth a shot as it wont do any further damage in the worst case.

I agree with all of the above dan mate, to me it looks like water blistering.
Could be from a waterbase colour not being dried out enough before laquering. Sand down and paint properly is your only cure. Or, carbon wrap the bonnet!!

Wow,
Thanks for all the replies! I need to check tonight to see if it feels like it's blistered or not. I've had the car for a year now (bought privatly) and though I knew it has has some paint (done well) to the rear arches I would have said that the rest was original. Interested in this claying, I've read some of Nick Goodals's posts and heard it refered to but don't really know what it means or what to buy, any idiots guide links available? HPI clear no concerns with that, no chance of me carbon wrapping it on the basis I think it makes your car look like a taxi. Cheers, Dan

Get it wrapped in red vinyl! Cheaper and easier than painting it. ( obviously not as nice tho)
You might not feel blistering on the bonnet mate, could all be well burried under laquer. Perhaps they only had bonnet done to get rid of stone chips, happens quite regularly in car sales.
