Phil:
Welcome to the world of modern air pollution! You probably got dosed with a
acid rain shower, which when allowed to dry, will pickle paint right down to
the primer. More modern paint are resistant to this, but and older lacquer
or enamel paint will spot over time. Try a body and paint supply store-
perhaps they have a treatment for this that will salvage the paint.
