Read evidence and context

Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that suspect a cause: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Suspected cause
Probably the best thing is to take it to a bodyshop and ask their opinion and a cost estimate.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi, so im looking at a very low mileage 996 4S with a not so common color (Polar grey), and around two of the wheel arches I noticed some bubbling. What can be done to fix this, and estimated costs involved? Sorry for the grainy pic. Not sure why it uploaded like that.

That paint is blistering probably because there's rust under it. Probably the best thing is to take it to a bodyshop and ask their opinion and a cost estimate.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
