Are you spraying or hand brushing it?
If hand brushing, you may be too agressive with the brush. I don't know if that's acrylic or enamel, but I've found when brushing acrylics, I sometimes get tiny bubbles in the brush if I'm not careful....especially when trying to paint in lots of tiny crevices around details.

Perhaps try thinning the paint just a little bit before brushing it on?

It could be the shaking thats causing the problem..........Try thinning the enamels with a different solvent and see if it solves the problem..........
