Intermittent problem with paintwork

Has anybody else had this problem? It's a beauty!

I've got a Mk2 Toledo in Flash Red. In certain weather conditions and temperatures, I get lots of very small white spots appearing on the roof and boot lid. These are actually in the paintwork and not on top, so using T-Cut or red Colourmagic car wax won't work. When the weather/humidity/temperature changes, they disappear without trace. It's almost as if the paint thins out exposing the primer undercoating.

Can anyone answer why this happens, and what the probable cause may be, because as the SEAT paintwork warranty has expired I am not a happy bunny- looking at a £500+ respray [:@]

Thanks

Many thanks for that. The hot air gun definitely sounds the cheaper option, so I'll mention that to the SEAT dealer when I take it in. I don't really want to go with the rapaint option if I can help it, because it'll have to be done by SEAT due to the bodywork warranty, which is still valid.

Thanks for your help. Appreciated.

Cheers,
