... I see now. The shop didnt do a good job on the surface preperation of the cladding. There must have been silicone or a petroleum baised product left behind. Left over oils and the like will not always be apparent while putting on the base coat (color coat). The Clear coat is where the oils appear. Tell them you want them to redo the job and to add a "Fish Eye" preventative. Also tell them to scrub the hell out of cladding before the basecoat application. This is why your mirrors and moulding came out better than the cladding, they could remove the mirrors and the moulding and properly scrub them down before paint. It seems the "Prep" guy was a little to lazy to bend over and scrub out the cladding. Might want to ask for a credit and go to a better shop. Hth randy
