Just noticed the lacquer quite badly bubbling and fading on the rear spoiler, I've had the car 3 1/2 years and the spoiler has never been resprayed in that time. This has only happened in the last few weeks since the weather got really cold.

Is this evidence of a previous repair or has anyone had a similar problem?

 

i am not meaning to be cheeky, is the spoiler a cheap one? i had a cheap spoiler for my old scooby and the paint "bubbled"

 

It's the standard WRX Ironing board, not really too gutted as I was thinking of getting an STi wing anyway, just curious what could cause this.

 

i have seen this loads as im in bodywork and in most cases its from work thats been done before but seen loads of ford rear spoilers go this way ! it can be caused from the elements but usually from a repair/paint job.could be damp in primer which can take a short or long time to come out.hth

 

My lip spoiler did this mate. Just had it and the bootlid resprayed again. That was down to a poorly prepped spray job the first time around. Took nearly two years to surface.

As to Subaru standard paint work... I had my front bumper resprayed under warranty when only a year old as the lacquer started peeling in places.
