    Paint defect? What is it, and how do I get rid of it?

    The front trunk lid is aluminum, but the rear trunk/doors/etc. are steel. I've run a magnet over it.

    Paint defect? What is it, and how do I get rid of it?

    Hello all, I was washing my car today and noticed these little pin-head sized paint bumps on the rear trunk lid. They look like possible overspray marks or dirt that got caught in the paint.
