I didn't think I was doing it that heavy but obviously I am  I'm thinking I might be getting too close when I paint the windows, as I tend to be a bit further away when doing the body and that's a lot less orangey.
Today's update:
Light was fading fast today so I wet sanded the windows a bit and managed to get it back to primer in places This meant I put on another 2 coats of colour . It's looking less orange peely now though.
Also I have painted the top of the body so that is now ready. 4 coats I think it was. I put some masking tape down on the wood blocks which will hopefully stop it from sticking as badly as it keeps pulling paint off. I really need to find a better thing to put it on when doing the Corsa model!
Anyway, here are the pics.

Since then I sanded it with the 1200 grit and cleaned it with white spirit, it's fine other than the wet paint glues it to the blocks so when I pick it up it pulls some off

That is something that I had thought about tbh  Didn't look hard enough to find something of that description though
Today's update:
The cans of paint say to spray from 25cm or 10" away, so I marked it out along the side of the box so that I can try and not lay it on quite so thick
A couple of pics of the body in nice dry paint:
And these all lacquered up:
Will be putting it back together tomorrow

All back together now
The windows have come out a little bit gritty, I think it's either the Halfords lacquer or how I'm spraying. I wouldn't be surprised if I was too far away as the body isn't gritty at all but is a bit orange peely.
Made a mark in the paint with a nail whilst trying to fit the widows (which was harder than it sounds!) 
Overall, not bad imo for 99p from eBay and a bit of practice  Have learned a bit too which will hopefully carry over onto future models.

are you spraying in lots of little bursts/presses?
the paint can dry too quickly before it hits the surface and turn out lumpy/gritty, if you get enough paint on wet it should end up flowing into a smooth finish

lmao at marking out 10 inches on the box, them halfords aerosols aint the best anyway, warm the can up in warm not hot water..dust one light coat on let it dry for 5 minutes another light coat 10 minutes then one nice wet one and it should flow out
