Default Fish eyes

When I bought my car, it had fish eyes pretty much everywhere.

The paint job has a lifetime warranty, which I'm going to be acting on pretty quick. I just wanted to make sure these fish eyes could only have occurred when the car was being painted, and they won't be able to weasel out of the warranty?

Any info would be great.

I beleive fisheye can only happen when the paint is being sprayed. Once its cured I don't believe it would occur.

keep products containing sylicone ( tire shine etc. ) off your car if your plan on paint work. paint is very tricky and even if you do excellent paint prep something still might happen.

sealer should keep it from happening but it doesn't go over un-blended area's. wash and dry your car good before hand. the pesky fish eye should be feathered out be gone this time.

when a shop offers a lifetime warranty on their work, it's usually void once the car is sold

Crap. I hope this warranty isn't void.

Yeah, it's generally a "limited lifetime warranty" only valid for the original owner of the vehicle for as long as they own it, and is non-transferable.

Hmm... I read over the warranty and it doesn't say anything about the owner. I guess I'll see when I go in.
