do the holes go all the way through the plastic?...........if not just sand them down.........and i find that automotive primer works better than testors primer.......my 0.2 cents

heat the can upin mildly hot water for 5 mins.......was probably to cold and wouldnt let the air b ubles escape from the primer, so that when it dries and gets hard the bubbles pop and leave little holes everywhere

You didn't wash the pieces with mild detergent!!! the molding grease pobably gave u all the bubbles!
