Hi Simon,  That looks like a classic case of moisture entrapment.  It can happen when underlying coats of primers or sealers are wet sanded and then topcoated without a proper drying time in between.  It can also happen when topcoating is done in too humid of conditions.  When I was a tech rep for Polyfiber I flew to Henstridge, UK to repaint (topgloss!) a Jabiru kitplane with Flightgloss.  Every morning the hanger would be dripping wet!  Not ideal painting conditions, but with heaters we got it done.  With the exception of a spray booth in Miami with four inches of water on the floor at all times it was the worst conditions I have ever painted in.  Put it out in the sun and see if they dry out.  We can go from there.

Thanks. I've now had a look at the Akzo website and found this:

It looks very similar.
