I think trying to fix it might make things harder in the long run. There's no guarentee that it'll end up looking good and you might waste a lot of time. Depending on how much bubbling there is and what type of paint it is, i'd start over. I think the most common cause of bubbling is spraying on the paint too think and spraying too close to what you're painting.

When I experienced that with Tamiy spray, I sanded it smooth with 2000 grit sandpaper and resprayed.

Yep...just spray it again.Give the car a good wash in hot water again to remove any sand paper grit...allow to dry well then repaint
