Hi Simon,  That looks like a classic case of moisture entrapment.  It can happen
when underlying coats of primers or sealers are wet sanded and then topcoated
without a proper drying time in between.  It can also happen when topcoating
is done in too humid of conditions.  When I was a tech rep for Polyfiber I flew
to Henstridge, UK to repaint (topgloss!) a Jabiru kitplane with Flightgloss.
Every morning the hanger would be dripping wet!  Not ideal painting conditions,
but with heaters we got it done.  With the exception of a spray booth in
Miami with four inches of water on the floor at all times it was the worst 
conditions
I have ever painted in.  Put it out in the sun and see if they dry out.
We can go from there.

  Jim T.
