but didnt make anything of it. Today when I washed it i noticed a raised bump in the paint on the hatch door. It kind of looks like a pimple in the paint. After reading this forum on the issue of the front bumper peeling I was surprised to see that this was also happening to my driverside bumber. Here are the pictures of the bump and peeling.

The bump in your paint is not your paint bubbling up, it's something stuck on it. Probably pitch.

Have the shop take a look, but I don't think it would be clear bubbling up. I have never seen or heard of such a thing, and I've been working on paint for many years. But hey there is always a first for everything right.

Yeah you were right it was something stuck on the paint. It took them a minute but they took it off...... On the bumber I took it to the Nissan dealership. They agreed the factory paint was peeling off. They took pictures to send in to corporate. In the min time they would touch it up.
