Were you painting to close to your car or something??? Maybe you could just sand the bad parts and re-paint it........... what do you think???
Let's just wait for a second opinion...

I think that's a result of too much moisture in the air when spray painting. It happened to one of my models, so I just started over *luckily it was on the bumper and not the whole body*

Most times this happens its because of...
a) The paint is applyed to thick when sprayed on to model
b) The paint is to cold
Did you warm the can first?
You really need to sand it all out and re-do it for a good result

yeah the can was cold.... but i dont have much gloss white paint to paint the car again... so i might just have to paint the car another color since i guess i have to sand it down and start over.... Should i sand it down or just use Castrol Super Clean and strip it?

I would just try and sand that area and then re-prime the whole car if you can.
You may have to strip the whole car though if you are going to loose to much detail from the amount of paint layers that will be on it from primming and changing colour.

If it was Tamiya spray the bubbles are caused by the propellant in their cans and it means you got too close. Here is alink for tips on using their paints.

If you used TS paint, you have put the paint on too thick/sprayed too close and trapped propellant in the paint that had to bubble out. This is a vey common mistake made with TS paints. Spray 12" to 14" away and remember, you don't have to put much on to get a gloss with TS paints.;)
