Fairing paintwork question

[BigBugger]

Due to house renovations my poor bikes have been confined to a very damp garage for the past few months. Since it was a bright and breasy day today I sat them outside to let the condensation dry off. My '83 R100RS fairing is now massed with little blisters. I'm assuming this has been caused by the damp getting through the fibreglass and behind the paint/gel coat. Does anyone know of a way of rectifying this that doesn't involve a costly respray?
Thank you

Who ever said Airheads were Cheap !

Unfortunately i have experienced this . The Only cure is a Complete Paint of the affected areas .
It seems that Moisture gets under the Paint through the Fiberglass and then blisters.
Unsightly , would be an understatement .
It seems BMW , are/were not great fans of undercoating .
It appeared on my bike , at the Front of the Fairing on top , and nowhere else , i got away with painting the
front bit of the Fairing .
If you pop the wee Bubbles they will go down , the the paint in the affected area will lift ... D.A.M.H.I.K

Unfortunately it has affected my whole upper fairing, there isn't a square inch that isn't covered :-(
I wondered about waiting till warmer weather then trying a warm iron and some blotting paper, to see if that would shrink/remove the blisters. I just wondered if anyone had tried anything that had worked, or had made things worse. The paintwork had been in fantastic condition till it spent a few months in that bloody damp garage, but the dry one is full of furniture :-(

If this is the same as the dreaded osmosis issue on fibreglass boat hulls you may have to dry out the actual fibreglass. This would involve opening up each blister then sticking the panels in an airing cupboard for an extended period - hope I am wrong ........

Paint job is the only thing that will cure that i'm affraid

I looks like I better start saving up then, meantime I'll just need to go fast enough that no one will see the state of the paintwork.....
Thanks for taking the time to reply.

While you are saving up for a proper restoration perhaps you could prepare and fair the affected panels and have then vinyl wrapped? There have been a number of threads with photos to show what can be done
