Are you 100% sure that that is colourcoat and clearcoat separation?Pics show a grey bottom colour,not matt blue!
If the flash time hadnt been adhered to ,the top coat would have peeled off after hosing off the car a few times ...wouldnt take a few months ,let alone 2 years!

Dont get your tip for avoiding peeling,if you read OP posts ,you will learn that he says that paint is smooth,NOT PEELING!!!!!!
Hope the OP answers the last questions I put to him ,as that will tell a lot about his problem.
Sarcastic? How so?

The first and last sentence of my post was my words, the rest was a copy/paste from a automotive paint issues website.

As for my "limited paintwork knowledge", I painted my first car in the spring of '78 ('69 396 SS Chevelle, triple black, laquer, 8 layers of clear) and have been involved in the stripping/prep/refinishing of dozens of car in the following 35 years.

The OP has responded on his post with an update that this is in fact a BUBBLE that contains water, something you state cannot happen because colorcoat/clearcoat adhesion issues ALWAYS results in peeling (the first time the paint is subjected to garden hose rinsing), and NEVER blisters.

When blistering is on frontal areas, a minor stone chip usually breaches the clearcoat, resulting in the introduction of moisture to the void area between the color/clear layers.
