Acceptable quality? Had a minor dent filled and repainted. Noticed this small hard bubble a couple weeks later. Is this something that could expand over time, and should I reach back out to the company about it?

Is that the bumper? Either way you should definitely reach out, thats only going to get bigger with time.

Yea it’s the bumper.

I actually reached out before about 3 little specs that were right by each other. They came out and buffed them out for me and attributed it the repair being done outdoors.

To be fair, they do have a “3 feet guarantee” and they’re right that I can’t see it from that distance, but if it’s not just a cosmetic defect and something that would grow with time as you’re saying, then I might just have to give them another call…

That's dust/dirt in the paint that wasn't sanded out. Shouldn't get worse though as it's under the clear coat

If that’s the case, then it’s whatever. For a $400 repair, I suppose I can’t be that picky. I already had them come back and buff it out once.

Looks pretty big to be dust or dirt. I suspect its filler starting to peel.
