It looks like a poorly prepped finish that was shot with a flit gun. How long ago was it painted? The surface obviously was contaminated with something...moisture or some type of substance.

A fingernail scrape will reveal most of your concerns depending on what is underneath.
Water in the compressor air is certainly a possibility. Could be the shooter didn't have a water trap fitted to the hose. Not sure on the idea of rust; those bubbles tend to be mushy because there is crap underneath them. Wondering if it is a case of galloping crud because the car sat for a while before the shot took place and the painter didn't wash it down, dry it off thoroughly, and tack it off a couple of times to make sure all the ambient dust and dirt in the atmosphere that had dropped out and onto the vehicle had been removed. Another notion would be an incompatibility reaction between whatever the first layer of paint was and what the new coating was. If one was shot directly over the other without an intermediate layer of primer/sealer to create a barrier between the two then there may have been some kind of chemical reaction. The not-so-technical term for when two paints go to war with each other is called "crazing", which this obviously isn't but it might be a variant on the whole scene.

I'm going with them being caused by moisture with possible rust depending on good they did the primer/sealer. It even could of been caused from storing the car in a damp location which those spots could still be holding water. I've seen the latter happen to a buddy's mom's '69 Satellite after it's winter storage in a damp garage.
Did anyone else hear Roger Rabbit when reading the thread title?
Nick,
My friend directed me to a You Tube video where a guy had a similar problem on a 2nd Gen. Camaro. He couldn't figure out what he was doing wrong. Apparently it turned out to be the cheap inline filters he was using that accumulated and spat out contaminants .
Another vote here for water in the lines when it was sprayed. Looks to be EVERYWHERE which doesnt make sense for rust, and they're all too similar in size. If it were contamination after the paint had cured I would expect it to be in much worse shape by now, but I'm assuming this isn't a fresh paint job.
