If the "popping" is appearing AFTER the paint has dried, it is either solvent pop or something in one of the undercoats is causing a reaction. More info would be needed for a blind diagnosis.

If bondo was used and they did not use a heat lamp to out gas the bondo (speeds up cure time). It will always pop until it's done right.
