This is caused by the paint reacting to the paint or primers below often.
Incomplete preparation of subsurface layers can cause havoc with paint
layers later on top. I've had it happen to me. There is only one fix for
it- strip all the paint off down to a point of good paint/primer or down to
bare metal and start over. :/
