What year, model, trim of civic?

And, you repainted the roof, how does that make it a common Honda problem?

Is the paint peeling, developing bubbles, or is the clear-coat peeling? Can you post a photo of the problem?

my honda civic is 1997 model, after i repainted there is a bubbles developing in the roof and the other parts of the vehicle is okay. that is why i said its common because i gather some comments coming from the other paintor they said its normal even i repaint it again still the bubbles it will come again .Even in my honda group they have the same problem.

Take a look at the listed paint problems on this page: How to Correct Common Painting Mistakes - Hot Rod Network

The explanation for why it occurs should be there. You will probably have to sand down and re-paint the area that's having the problem.

It sounds to me like it could be Blistering, or Pinholing.

That is more of painter error rather then common issue on these car or on honda period. My car, 98 civic, still on factory paint and no problem. My other honda, 95 civic with over 200,000 miles never had this problem from factory paint.

This is exactly what I was eluding to. Thank you for stating it clearly for all future users.

Also why I was asking the year, style and trim of the car as Honda does have a batch of years that have OEM paint issues but it's not until the 8th generation civics or so I learned when I got mine.

OP's problem is not a common OEM paint problem, it's an aftermarket paint error/problem.
