well bubbling usually is the paint too thin, someone please correct me if I am wrong.
How to stop it, mix the paint thicker. If it has already set up you might be able to get away with dabbing it with a thinner soaked tack rag to get the edges down. If it is really bad your going to be sanding, and respraying. You could also try rubbing with a fine 3M pad after it is cured instead of straight sanding.

Most likely contamination. How did you prep the surface prior to painting?

the spray shop did for me...
i was thinking of returning to him to do but i supposed it will result in the same... *(@#^^@# painter or even end up with different colour tone..

"you might be able to get away with dabbing it with a thinner soaked tack rag to get the edges down"

u meant to tab gently on the affected areas of the boot with thinner soaked rag?

well I have had luck when the paint is fully cured using a Q-tip dabbed in thinner and simply rubbing the bubble out and high edges down to acceptable. If you can get to it easily, your even better using high grit sand paper and bugging it out.
