Now why can't I get rid of the damm fish eyes !!!

I used the same procedure for both bodies, washed them with detergent and warm water, used the same primer, the spray paints were from the same supplier.

The King Cobra good result 1st time 

The E Type Jaguar, now on it's 4th attempt   I have washed the resin body with paint remover, sanded the surface, repainted with a different primer....all looked good, and then using a new can of the top coat

Yes that's annoying...

Is it possible that the body was moulded using old resin.
I had this happen years ago and the paint was reacting with the resin.
Remoulded the body with fresh resin and it was fine.

Yes i am beginning to think that it is a resin mixture problem, i just tried again today with the same result and the fish eye’s are not always in the same position. I will contact the supplier of the kit.

Were both bodies cast with the same resin, from the same mix?

If not then they aren't the same and anything can happen.

Best you can do is try your hand at making each step cure longer and see which step is reacting to try and resolve it. You might want to wait a week or two between each process...?

Problem has at last been resolved.

In the end it was a paint compatibility issue, when I checked i had used a Revell Red spray paint over the Halfords primer. The King Cobra had been painted with Tamiya Spray paint over the same primer without any issues.

So yesterday I bought a can of Halfords Red Spray paint, which seems to have worked ok
