Spray paint condensation

I have been searching for an answer online and in this forum but I can't seem to find it. I don't know if I am using the right terminology so bear with me.

I am in the process of spray painting scratches on my front bumper using the paint provided from expresspaint. I followed the instructions provided with the package and on the back of the spray cans (w/c by the way instructs differently). It seems like everything I appy a coat of the BSM paint it forms a white residue?/condensation? everytime -not sure what terminology to use here.

My question is should I sand the white stuff with 1000+ grit paper or use the buffing compound? Should I use it before or after or before and after the application of the clearcoat?

Thanks

call them and fyi never spray paint a car that costs more than 50$..seriously did you really spray paint your bmw?

i would go to a dealer and have them fix it.. a respray on a bumper is about 1500 for a good job maybe 2k.
