Did he spray it first with an adhesion promoter ? That needs to be done first on plastics and urethane before the sealer/primer thats what my paint guy does. Its called fisheye I believe its usually caused by improper prepping/cleaning and he could have used some fisheye preventer....I got the following off a paint website.

Problem: A "fish eye" appears.


Solution: What's a "fish eye"? A small, white dot, surrounded by a ring of paint — caused when paint for various reasons will not stick to the surface. Fish eye is most often caused by a spot of oil, grease or wax on the surface. The best way to prevent it is to clean the surface well before painting. If you spot a fish eye in your finish:

Stop your work. Let the paint dry as is for at least 24 hours.

Sand the surface with #400 or finer grit sandpaper until the fish eye is gone and the primer coat appears. Clean the surface well with alcohol and begin the painting process again.

Note: The best method to counter this is to pre-clean the surface well before you begin. This will stop it before it starts.
