Had a respray done in august last year, the whole car was sprayed and all dents, scratches and rust sorted out. its been a year since it was done and im getting bubbles or rust between the plastic arch and where it meets the bodywork on that lip, some on the very front edge of the roof where it meets windscreen and on the tailgate where it meets the bumper. should i be seeing this so early or should it have been sorted better when the respray was done?

class car tom, youll always get rust above windscreen where the rubber is, but rest of rust id say its probly due to bad prepping etc when you had it sprayed mate

on one of the rear ones you can see it on the inside of the metal aswell if you take the rear panel off the arches are smoothed into skirts and the skirts are riveted on so cant really take it off. its happened on one of the fronts aswell

i wouldnt say its anything to do with the prepping.

id say its more along the lines of what sam said.
you only need a tiny mark in the paint for rust to attack it. ie a small chip or scratch which you havent even noticed til its started to rust
