Bladders

Hi all,
i´m not shure if bladders is the correct word for what a hungarian collector asked me to show here.
On this Porsche he found some bladders and he would like to know where they come from and what to do that they don´t get more.
Anyone here any idea?

Could it be Bubbles or blisters in/on the paint

Yes, that is what this is about. The clue is in the filename "Pickelporsche", for "Pickel" is the German word for "pimple".
I do not have a definitive answer to the question. There may be several different reasons for such paint bubbles.
They may have already occurred during production, when the paint was applied imperfectly. In that case they should not get worse over time.
They may have been caused by distortions of the casting, maybe due to imperfections in the metal alloy or due to the model having been stored in a damp environment.
I am sure others will come up with more ideas...

Of course this might be the correct word for it.
