It's paint lol
I figured I was going to have to start from scratch crap lol
The paint/base coat will often chip along with the clear coat. Non-gel coat base coats aren't resistant to chipping at all. If you painted your car with just a base coat, it would get all chipped up in no time flat. The clear is really what protects the finish. If the clear chips, the base coat will come with it more often then not. Bubbling is usually a sign of shitty prep work/improper painting conditions (i.e. too cold, too hot, too humid, etc.). Personally, I would go raise hell. The other thing that I would do is try and find a body shop that takes on more customer paid jobs. Places that handle insurance claims run on a really tight schedule and are focused mainly on turnaround. It may take longer and cost a tad more, but a custom/Hot Rod-type shop will likely take the time to do the job right/better. Would you mind posting some pics of the affected areas? That may help to better diagnose the problem(s). I'm not an expert, but I have a fair amount of experience. Someone like Crystal (Lilsparkplug) may be of even more help.
