The paint bubbling was my fault. I tried to paint the trim around the projector and turn signal. When it didn't come out right I brought it to a body shop. They had a problem with the paint that I had already put down and it lifted after a short time.
I used the paint that Caravanshaka lists in his DIY.
The explanation that I got was that any paint from a rattle can has a chemical that prevents the paint from drying in the can. Unless you let the paint cure fully before adding the clear it will bubble.
I only painted the passenger side and had left the driver side alone.
The passenger side is the one that I had issues with.

I have never been good at painting. My suggestion is to bring whatever you want painted to a professional before trying it yourself. Unless you are confident in your painting skills.
