Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe paint problems

I have a 2011 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe in red and have noticed that the paint if starting to have raised pimples in the paintwork. I regularly wax and clean the car and it is immaculate and has only done 20,000 miles from new. Are you aware of any problems associated with this type or car or its paintwork in this colour?

Yes, there is a significant problem with MB reds. It's mentioned in several different model entries in www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar. I'll add yours.
