As title says I painted my elcamino 2 months ago and the paint has some bubbles in 2 or 3 small areas. I was using nason paints and everything was painted in perfect conditions on the same day at once. I’ll attach some pics below. Why is it doing this and is it going to get worse?
Edit: here are the pictures, although it looks like a run it is not, that was not there when it was wet sanded and buffed. Spots are on the tailgate and under the fuel door only.

Looked at them to me it looks like it's a rust pop. Have you tried cutting the bubble ? See what's under it. Definitely not a solvent pop. Did you use an acid etch? Nason doesn't call for one
I did not use and an acid etch, I don’t really want to cut the bubble yet but the inside of the tailgate looks Normal. If I mixed the paint wrong it would have shown up on the whole car but it’s only on the tailgate.
Don't know how to help cause I hate paint and body work, but there is only one thing you can do to correct this problem and you know what it is. It sucks man but you are just going to have to buff it off and start over.
Bubbles are one of 2 things, moisture or rust. Either way there is no fix other than cut it open and see whats under there. Since it is white you should not have any issues blending the the repair once you sort it out.
Your either going to have to live with it or cut it and redo the area. I have a few on my car the two that bother me are right above the drivers door so I see it everytime I get in the car. But I'm not fixing it I'll live with it till I redo the car. My paint 26 years old.
Looks to me like the paint solvent lifted the body work. Did you use a sealer like an epoxy primer on top of the body work, before the paint?
