I used engine paint and it didn't bubble on me, then again I only painted the 2.0L 16 valve and the stripes, I painted my washer fluid cap with the same stuff and its fine as well. Did you left it dry all the way before driving?

lol, when I was painting it got these little spots and dimples, it really pissed me off, I let it dry and tried it again and same thing in the same spots, it's like the paint didnt want to stick at all.
