Question
i just painted my 1989 chevey pickup , today it bubbled , why

Answer
JERRY....WITHOUT MORE INFORMATION ON WHAT YOU PAINTED YOUR TRUCK WITH MY ANSWER WILL BE VAGUE.
IF YOU USED A DIFFERENT TYPE OF PAINT ON TOP OF ANOTHER A CHEMICAL REACTION OCCURRED.

BY BUBBLES IT COULD BE THAT IT WAS FISH EYED...MEANING CRATER LIKE CIRCLES RESEMBLING BUBBLES
OCCURRED. THAT IS TYPICALLY A SILICONE ISSUE. THERE MIGHT BE SILICONE IN THE GARAGE WHERE YOU PAINTED AND IS A TYPICAL PROBLEM.

REMOVE ALL GAS CANS,OIL CANS AND ARMOUR ALL PRODUCTS FROM THE GARAGE AND RE CLEAN.
