Sounds like it could be that the paint hasnt been mixed correctly or its been over thinned.

 

Failing that a temperature issue?

Any polish or silicon could have been near it ? Sound like a reaction , you can get some easy flow drops for about 7 quid last a fair few times aswel .

Ps are u using cans or proper gun etc
