Question

Hi all,
I guess a photo would make this easier to explain/understand so that's my next job.
Has anyone ever experienced a paint defect that results in very small pin holes in isolated areas?
The holes are like 'freckles' and using lay-man terms go through the top colour coat of paint but not the primer.
This happened to my S2 about 3 years ago and at the time I had a little trouble with some sloppy builders next door (airborne cement etc.) and I had a really poor car cover. I assumed it was one of those causes but chatting to someone last year they suggested it's quite common.
I've had the car for 20 odd years and up until about 9 years ago it was kept inside. As we all know, they don't like being kept outside but alas that's just the way it is.
From about 6 foot away you simply can't see the defects so it's not an issue per se.
Whilst I can't imagine anything other than a respray would fully resolve (and I haven't the intention or funds), I'm interested in the cause and anything that may prevent further effects or deterioration.
Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks,
Will.
