HEY,
I dont have any solutions but i do know why this happens(at least i think i o) It is because you applied the paint too quick and in one heavy coat. This traps air in the paint and causes bubbles to form and pop on the surface. Guys please tell me if im right or wrong. To stop this, when you are painting, do it in light caots. I use to have the same problem with my cars and i dont no more so that must be the way to stop it.

The bubbling, or blistering, is usually a sign of a chemical reaction. What type of paint were you spraying, enamel, lacquer, or acrylic? Did you prime the model before painting? If you primed, did you let the prime coat cure for at least 24 hours? If you provide a little more detailed info, might make the analysis easier.

I agree with Rick.
What is underneath that paint?
