I searched all over the forum but..
Well, earlier today i met a guy selling his 240z (1972), it was more than perfect, it even started from the first time i turned the ignition. Everything was running smoothly the gear shifts are light, smooth and perfect. However, the brakes need tweaks, and the pedals need some firmness because as soon as my toe just pressed the gas pedal the car moved. Mechanical wise it was perfect.
Interior wise, the seats were a little worn off, the ac works but it just needs r134 to blow cold air, it doesn't have a radio the dashboard is clean, like its not damaged or cracked or anything.
Neglecting it's interior i started searching for rust in its common places and everywhere else, i was surprised it was very very very clean, but then i found 3 paint bubbles, one on each fender and a very very tiny one on the rear just above the right rear tire (it was barely noticeable my hand felt it :P )
anyway, the car is priced at about $8000, i would have taken pictures but it was dark and my flash wasn't that good xD
so my question is, how do i remove these paint bubbles (they're barely noticeable except for one in the left front fender its the size of my thumb), i wish i didn't see them, but because i saw them i'm re-considering about buying the car unless i know how to remove them.
Thank you

Welcome to ZDriver!
Was the a/c converted to R134a? If it's original, it's running R12.
Leave them alone. Seriously. It's like opening a can of worms.
And it better be absolutely gorgeous for $8k. Decent 240Z's can still be had for $1k-$5k all the time.
