It's called blushing/blooming it's caused by moisture and cool air, try spraying some 2K thinner over it if they doesn't work you'll need to repaint it

your paint is blushing due to condensation on the surface of the paint when the solvent is evaporating.
several ways around this are watch your temp/humidity when spraying or if you can't avoid it use retarder at about 50/50 with your thinners.
