A repair to the Jee-rage

The Jee-rage (Jeep+garage) had a very odd issue with the clear coat on the hood.

Back in November, I noticed a blister come up on the hood - about 2" in diameter, and raised up about 1/2". Within a day or so, it popped and left a non-clear coated area on the hood. We then had a wet day, and water got under the clear coat, creating a very artistic pattern which may have been pretty if it wasn't on the hood of the Jeep!

The patterns were created by water getting under the clear coat and spreading all across the hood.
I didn't think to take a picture of how bad it looked before I got it into the body shop... much of the bubbled-up clear coat had flaked off and it really looked disreputable.

We picked up the Jeep from the shop a couple of weeks ago, and wow! it looks great!
Now the tree outline on the hood is the reflection of the trees instead of being bubbled-up clear coat!


I'm glad that we've gotten this completed!
