HELP PPPPPPPPLEASE

Greetings all G body brothers and sisters, I was wondering if there were any body professionals on here that possibly would be able to tell me what would cause issues in the paint in the following picture provided. I'm looking at purchasing a car with these issues, and would like no surprises obviously. thanks in advance!

No expert (or professional for that matter), but are those bubbles hard or squishy? If you’re able to push them in it something might of gotten splashed on the car before it was sprayed, causing lifting.
If the bubbles are hard it’s either something under the paint, or if it had a respray, the spray gun that was being used could of been clogged or messed up. I noticed when I sprayed my trunk with a pressure pot gun, anything below 50 psi would cause paint to come out in a splatter pattern when it could be siphoned.

If the whole car looks like that, it may of been a rush job with lacquer paint with an improperly set up gun. The photo makes it look like there’s a bit of orange peel in the paint (although it could be metallic, I can’t really tell) which could point to the job being a simple spray and assemble. Those bumps look high enough to easily feel, let alone to be highlighted during wet sanding.

I REALLY appreciate the info!! I claim not to be a body man, although I have dibbled in it in the past, I don't recognize these conditions of this particular paint. Thanks for taking the time here to explain all that!

Could be rust bubbles?

Could slso be a reaction between the new and old paint.

Edit, on second thought those bumps may be trapped water droplets due to the lack of a water seperator and air dryer. The air for spray painting must be dry.

Could be rust bubbles?

This was my thought as well.

This was my thought as well.

How much of that is original? How much of that is replaced and or packed with cheese?

Without being there to see it in person, we're all guessing to some extent. So far anyone of us could be right. My .02 is that it's rust and possibly crappy bodywork, ie bondo.
