Paint Blistering - US Based Cars?

[Nick in Sydney]

Is there a way to tell who has made the doors on a given car?

AFAIK, they are all made by Teijin.

Can you list the manufacturer date found on the door sill.

Also, I would encourage anyone else who does in fact have blistering (and posts about it), to list their manufacturer date (all US cars have this on the door sill). This could help shed light on whether it's a parts issue, a painting issue (who paint batches were used then or "who" did the painting paint mixing, etc.). Also, list if it's stored outside or garaged.

I sold the car so can't get that info

Stored outside in California.

All doors on the Emira are made by Teijin. They also make all the engine cover/tailgates and rear quarters. Any replacements are also made by Teijin.
Front wings and bonnet are made by Lotus composites. Front and rear bumper are molded plastic not composite.
