    While I was debadging my truck today I noticed what appears to be two small air bubbles on my paint. They are raised and about the size of a grain of sand. Any advice on what I should do, if anything? Unsure if this is a big deal.

    Most likely some dirt that got into the paint or clear coat, could also be orange peel. Pic's would help but I don't think you need to worry about it.

    I wouldn't worry about it if it's that small.

    I googled fish eye in paint. Here is a google image of what the two zits on my rig look like.

    I totally agree about it being a truck, and I don't mind the scratches I already have because I caused them having fun. Just wasn't sure if this factory issue will cause problems down the road.

    might if you take the bubble off with say a single action buffer or your fingernail. just hit it with a spot of clear and done. id be far more concerned with any scratch or rock chip than i would with something actually inside the paint.

    Do they get the wet sand from the overabundance in your vagina?

    Not actually YOUR, but you know.

    Good to know. Here I was thinking they just used the rust flecks from all the recalled Tacoma frames.

    I have at least one in my inferno. Not worth the hassle to try to get them to try to fix it; it's a truck. Sad that modern cars all come with minor paint job issues.
