Welp, this is the story...

Got my slightly used (6,000 miles) 2011 Camaro last September. Couldn't wrap my head around why someone would trade the car in but whatever. So I was at a body shop I've used before having them look at a bubble forming in one of the gills on the left side and low and behold, the owner recognizes some "tight paint." The LR fender looks as if it was re-painted before and now with the bubble forming, it looks like they did a bad job.

Any ideas on how much this should cost to fix and what method should be used to fix this bubble in the gill?

Can you get a picture? Are there bubbles growing or is the paint just not flush there? Could be orange peel, did you check the carfax or ask if any body work was done?
