Mine is a 2019 also and was built in the spring of the year. Dealer's wife used it for a few months as a demo and then I purchased it with 4K miles. It did see salt for two winters but I keep it and undercarriage washed. Last winter, it was stored inside. These bubbles did not appear until recently.
It has zero to do with your environment.. it's a prep issue from the manufacturer.
Regardless the material, it must be properly prepped prior to painting. For the price of these units, a well done prep and paint speaks volumes a few years down the road. By the way, I did not know that the doors were now aluminum.
Well, they won't rust per se. The doors and hinges are aluminum. But I don't think we are seeing people who have had theirs done and then they bubble again.
The JK had same door and hinge material. The issue is that they paint them with the hinges attached. So, water seeps between the hinge and the door and you get the issue we are seeing here.
I think there's been people in this thread that have had repeat issues. IRL I know of someone who has had repeated issues and just got rid of their Jeep because they were tired of dealing with it after two fixes.
Really? I hadn't seen that.
That explains the rather orange peel look in some recessed handle and hinge areas. I had 3 JKs, one JKU and two, two door models, all were Rubicons and all were exposed to nasty roads as I used them for work. NONE of them rusted.
JLs aren't rusting either. IIRC, the JK seeped white shit from its hinges, the JL is doing same thing except it's causing paint to bubble.
Never had any hinge or paint issues on the JKs myself. One white, one red and one maroon, forget the name of the color, but it was very rich looking.
Definitely see it a lot up here. Usually older JKs.
