Hey Damo,
Hard to tell what's causing the blistering from the photos mate. Blistering is usually caused from intrapment of moisture that's trying to escape through the coating.
You may have already tried this, but I would de-grease the area with some metho or wax and grease remover. Apply a coat of solvent based etch primer. Even one from the domestic side of the trade will do like Norglass No Rust Primer. Awesome product. Then spray on your finish coat.
Cheers

I have a good pipe, rudders, elevators, doors. Same color scheme as Damo's. The cockpit took it hard on flop. Wings are ok need to be checked. Fuse is dead. Landing gear is ok. Cockpit glass and engine hatch is good. All of drop tanks and missles are in good condition.
I will try post some pics by tomorrow if interested.

I've wash the hole thing down with wax and grease remove. What's happening after rubbing it back when you spray the primer it blistering like you put paint strippers on it.

Sounds like its sissing up. This is caused by a couple of things. Either the product your putting on the the existing surface is not compatable, or the more likely thing is there is too much thinners in the product your using. This will eat and soften the previous coating causing it to wrinkle up. Use less thinners or try a different product. Make sure it's an etch primer though.

Heat the surface up with a heat gun or hair dryer before you put the product on. Then spray it on lightly if you can. Let it dry lightly sand then repeat till u get a sound surface. If that doesn't work there is a compatabality issue between the products. It's hard doing what your trying to do with a spray can because it's hard to put it on thin.
