don't spray so much at once, go in thin layers instead of trying to cover the car all at once...

Don't shake the can too much, swirl it instead. Heating the cans slightly works well, as does not getting to close when spraying.

Most of the time, the bubbles are caused by propellant being trapped in the paint.

HTH,

You will probably find you are getting the paint to thick and not allowing it to gas as it dries.
Spray nice thin coats
