Paint defect or new issue
Hey all! It's been quite a while since I've been active here. I was going to install some new suspension as it's been long overdue, unfortunately with the heat and humidity here in nebraska I missed my window so I decided to do a little underhood cleaning only to find a very interesting area of bubbling paint under my passenger hood hinge.
This is a new one on me but looks to be a defect from paint pooling or something to that effect. I am curious if anyone has seen this on their twin before.

Looks like chemical attack. Clean it real good, treat it and paint.

Agreed, looks like something corrosive got there. I would clean, sand, prime, tape off and use rattle can. Rusteoleum pearl white is actually a very close match for our pearl white and I've used to it touch up spots under the hood. I wouldn't use it on the outside of the car but under hood it's great.

What weird me out the most is that it looks like it was a puddle and id imagine if it was something caustic I'd think that it would be obvious as to where it came from.
Oh well not a big deal, simple enough to fix, just very strange!

WOW! The high heat and humidity in Nebraska strikes again.
Just put a sticker over it, it will be fine. - |

Brake fluid spill will do that if left unchecked for too long.

The majority of the spots I have seen just like that were brake fluid related.

I don't doubt that it could be brake fluid just very strange as it is on the opposite side of all the brake shenanigans going on.

To me it looks like it is a build up under the surface paint and on top of the undercoat. Almost like a bird dropping, well maybe some kind of body adhesive. If you take up a small piece you might be able to determine what it is.
