All will be good as now that the Doc's allow no mo Beer for me there is now plenty for all( ie. I no longer cause beer shortages)
few other thoughts.
Like Howard said could be water but that is usually wide spread. I have had days when the humidity was high and other variables right to cause condensation a discharge end of things.
The dryer filter at the gun end of the hose needs to be new at the beginning of each project.
Old air hoses can be a problem, microscopic rubber particles.
Use a dryer separator at the compressor. those with a drain at the bottom can be cracked open to constantly bleed water while spraying.
If your compressor is in an air conditioned room make it as cold(dry ) as possible.
Drain the tank 4 or so times while making this 'dry as possible' air.
After blowing up you picture large enough I see you are actually having balloons not just a lifting bump.
I also see depressions where the paint is being sucked into the surface? Something is gassing, expanding and then contracting.
Is there filler in affected area? water based?
From my memory and the brands of paint I worked with(RM) your retarder amount seems high.
Fish eye seem to be something more like a total failure of surface tension of the wet paint and make a crater that resembles a miniature meteorite crater in side view X section.

your post #8 indicates it might be time for the superglue trick and or sealer primer in affected area.
Although at this point you may have the problem 'bridged' and only need to level surface and spray LIGHT coats.
This may lead to low gloss/rough finish that needs fine wet sand and compounding. Hand rubbing compound is getting hard to find but still around. Don't bother with machine compound unless you can get a buffer to it!
The machine stuff is good for canopy clean and polish followed with plastic polish/wax.
Or sand all off and start over
As you can tell I have mucho experience at screwing up paint jobs
this link with painting trouble shooting chart might help.
