looks like some sort of petrochemical reaction ( probably some sort of oil residue on the wing )
or could possibly be too cold for the paint to cure properly or fast enough
what sort of paint are you using if its cellulose wipe the pannels down thoroughly with a rag full of neat thinners before spraying and allow it to evaporate
if yer using a compressor and gun id purge the water out of the tank and check the pump isnt throwing oil past the rings into the air mixture or similar if your using an inline oiler or lubricator on the air line take the fooker off as it can be contaminating the paint in the gun
also if you have one use an air line moisture trap just to back yerself up ( they can catch an amazing ammount of oil in the air line )
one of me standard tricks also is before painting anything speshuly first thing in the morning or if the compressor has been stood for a while put a quick connector in the end of the air line to open the bugger at full bore and blow the moisture out of the line itself
if yer using 2 pack epoxy type paint yer need a little more reactor in the mix than yer using and throw about 10% clearcote in with it for an extra hard and shiny finish
hope this helps

it is a paint reaction to old paint , you can either remove paint or use a barrier coat

I've had that recently with brand new good paint. It was caused by the paint being warmer than the thing it was being painted onto. I stuck the door panel I was doing in front of a heater to get it warm enough and it solved the problem....didn't solve my cackhandedness or drips though....

Thanks for all your replies but still unsure what it could be. Its not cellulose, it's vehicle military paint from ebay. Oil isn't getting past the rings and also i have a water trap coming off the compressor so i don't think its water. I will have a good look around on the internet see what it may be also it cant be orange peel as it looks very different to that, Rattle is right does look like 'rotten zombie skin' haha

Here's something I found whilst i was grinding the back paint off. Forgot to put this piccy up before, its where the dust from when been grinding the paint dust has stuck onto a Fairy sticker that must have been there at some point
Has it still got one ?
You can get the silver stickers on ebay

I have found that the 'zombie skin' can be caused by the metal being too cold relative to the spray (on tractors anyway) or to thinners in the spray nozzle from cleaning.
