Default Champagne bubbles in paint

Just noticed this moring, when the light cought the trunk lid of my beloved Nogaro Blue S4 just right, that there were like 1000 little freaking champagne bubble looking things in the paint.

Only viewable from an extreme angle in the right light, looks the bubbled clear coat, but beneath the surface. After spending hours polishing and waxing my car this is really annoying, anyone else notice this?

Maybe that's what that Jonny guy had been complaining about?

Thats what "pearl effect" is in paint.

Default I though Pearl effect was the almost metallic looking particles. These bubbles are not uniform(more)

And they do not cover the entire car, or even the whole trunk lid, there is a clear demarcation for where they end.
