Something Weirds Happening To My Paint...

Anyway a few months after i started getting very very tiny specs on the bonnet. You could barely feel them with your finger. I thought i'd polish out - thinking it was water marks - they weren't. Now a couple of months after that the specs have got bigger, you can feel them with your finger now - they're getting more like blobs and are very visible. I tryed picking at them the other day and one of the specs actually chipped off with my nail, revealing the primer or metal underneath (can't tell which)
I thought the bonnet must have been one that had been sitting in a garden or something before being sprayed and have began to rust - and wasn't propertly prepped - but now i'm not so sure. It doesn't look like rust at all!
Now these specs have spread to pretty much the whole bonnet and i can see some very tiny specs starting to come through on the wing and at the back of the roof!
WHAT THE HELL ARE THEY! They're taking over my car!
I'v tryed taking pic - didn't come out too well but you can make out the specs - if you look on the other half of the bonnet - after the ridge you can see the specs clearly. Thats the state they are in now.
I'll be getting a fibreglass bonnet soon anyway so the bonnet isn't too much of a problem. But i think the problem is going to happen on the wing an roof! Which is what my consern is!
So what do pweople reckon this is? Anybody seen it before? What causes it - bad prep, rust...?

Yeah my uncle said that it sounded like it hadn't been cleaned properly...
It depends how truthful the previous owner was being when he said that the car was resprayed in august last year - 2006.
So for something like a reaction to just come out of the blue 14 months later is strange. If it is a reaction then the car must have resprayed much later than that...

Means there could have been water coming through the compressor that fed the spray gun, or the car was damp before being painted.
They may flat and polish away but they will keep coming back.

Looks like micro blistering to me.

So basically the only way to get rid of them is to get the effected areas resprayed?

Looks like the stuff you get from parking under trees...
Yeah, thats what i was thinking!! Maybe the tree sap has stuck to the paint which when picked off pulls the top layer off? Unlikely tho, i think its as the others said above...
