an update of what the dupont guy has told .
first question he made was if after the old paint removal there was already some blistering that went into the fiberglass... and yes it was... here and there it looked like there were tiny "needle holes".. or "woodworm" holes that were in the fiberglass.
with that knowledge he said it probably won't help if the hood was completely redone since the problem is in the fiberglass.. best solution is polishing and seal it off again with layer clear coat..... if it comes back just redo the process.. and hope that the chemical reaction has worked out.
( i hope that that has already happened since the paintjob was done about 1.5 year ago)
monday they will start treating the hood..... will see how it turns out
