small paint pimple

Hey everyone,
I just noticed a small paint pimple under the clear cloat. Could this lead to a bigger problem or is just a small little flaw from the factory that is no biggie. Appreciate any input.

Are you getting a new bumper because of the paint pimple or for another reason. Should I have it taken care of then?

Thanks

The pimple is caused by a piece of dirt in the paint spraybooth. Paint is really sensitive. Even a flake of deodorant can cause a defect. It really should not hurt at all. It is just a cosmetic flaw. Oh yeah, I used to work in Ford MoCo paint.

Dont worry, every car has a paint pimple if you like to call it that...I have one on my TL, and it's doing no harm, and I have had the car for more than a year...
