These spots appeared in my paintwork back in April.
Took it to the bodywork guy I use, he’d never seen anything like these before, initially he thought it was on the clear lacquer, until I told him I’d tried to compound them out but it didn’t touch them at all, neither did wet sanding
He stripped the clear coat off and as he hit the colour layer they vanished, so some new colour applied and the whole rear qtr clear coated.
Three weeks to the day later they appeared again.
Car is now back in having the layers removed until the cause of the problem is removed.
He sent me video this morning and it seems the problem was contained in the 5th layer of the paint process, something at the factory has got on the primer and slowly over 3 and a 1/2 years made it’s way through the other layers to the outside of the colour.
