A few days after installing the fender beading, the 6 month old paint lifted in a few random spots. I'm having success forcing the blister down with a large screwdriver wrapped with a microfiber cloth, but it's labor intensive. If anyone has a easier solution please pass it on. In hind site, applying a silicon spray between the body and the beading would allow the two not to bind.

sticking a pin in the bubble will let the air out . get wax in the pinhole to keep moisture out .
