Poor prep work.
Moisture.
Paint not wet enough.
Did you wipe down the vehicle with a Tack Rag before painting and after any sanding of paint ??
Did you do more than one coat with sanding in-between ?
Did you apply a Clear Coat, if so did you sand before applying ?
What grit sanding paper did you end up with before applying paint ? Believe it or not too fine on the Sand Paper can cause lifting in the paint because the paint couldn't attach properly to the surface.
Did you prime the vehicle ?
If your compressor is on the smaller side, it may generate too much heat while over-working to paint the vehicle, which will create more moisture... i.e. water in the lines !
The above are guesses, I haven't done paint work in a while but the name of the game is excessive prep work.
As well as... Warm/Dry area to paint in, Water Filter(s) on the air supply lines, draining the compressor tank and letting the compressor and air lines run open for a short time to drive out as much moisture as possible.
I didnt do any of those. I paid a shop a ridiculous price to do them and I'm so dissapointed.
