    Cloudiness spots in paint

    I recently purchased a 2008 copper mica red Mazda Miata.   There are some small cloudy spots (1/16" to one up to 1/4" in diameter).  The dealership said it came from when it was shipped and that moisture had gotten between the protective layer and the paint.  The took it to a paint shop where they put it under their curing lamps and some of the spots disaperared, but some very small ones remain.   They said next step would be to repaint.  A regional rep is coming to talk with me about the tiny spots.    From 3 feet away, you can't see them... but closer there are some still present.  Have you heard of this problem before?       I'm concerned about what might happen 3 years from now when off warrenty and rust or other problems develop.    Any thoughts???       I know I won't go for a repaint!                   Zmiata

    It sounds like a manufacture defect.  I would push the warranty with the dealer.  It should be covered.  That probably does mean to repaint though.   

     I work for a Honda dealership in Chicago, Honda of Lisle.  We also have a pre-owned lot, The Used Car Superstore of Lisle. If you have any other questions you can reach me at  www.hondaoflisle.com or www.theusedcarsuperstore.com   You can call me at the dealership at 630-852-7200.  Thanks,  Lee S.
