Looks like poor intercoat adhesion, could've been dust. If it was buffed maybe to much heat in one area causing the paint to release.When solvent popping occurs, the solvent becomes trapped in the new finish because the surface of the paint has skinned over. As the solvent evaporates, the gas bubbles rise to the surface of the paint, but have a tough time escaping. Those bubbles that do escape break through the surface, causing the identifiable blisters associated with this condition. After the paint dries and cures, you're left with a surface that is covered with little pock marks that are about one millimeter in diameter, not just one big one. Just looking at the picture would be hard to determine exactly what it is, but the shop should take care of any paint related issues. I have seen this on areas that have had some bondo work and basically the surface wasn't cleaned properly prior to any kind of paint work. It doesn't matter how much you paid, they should stand by there work. If someone complains about any paint or bodywork that I have done I fix it no questions asked. It's my reputation on the line and getting clientele now a days is hard. If it is rust under there thats a whole different story.

Hope this helps,
Mike
