It's ugle and the only fix is to replace the hood, which obviously would require not only a repaint, but also some very expensive stripes replaced on the Bosses like mine.

Ford replaced and repainted my Shelby hood just a few weeks before the 3 year 36,000 mile ran out and I had to fight to get that fixed. The stripes probably cost as mush as the hood and paint repairs... It did look like crap. Other manufacturers are having similar issues with Aluminum and bad prep leading to the bubbling paint. Its rather upsetting when you care about your car enough to identify every nick and scratch and then see this ugly mess and the manufacturer is like yeah we know, live with it.
