What can be done to this other than a repaint?

Re: Solvent Popping in Fresh Paint
Mike thats too bad pretty serious defect. I'm sure you'll pull some magic and make it look better.
My first motorcycle helmet I painted I used too fast a solvent and ended up with this. Nothing sandpaper and a mulligan won't fix, lol.
I'm glad mine was just a helmet, that ride looks like fun to work on.

A person can try wet sanding or dry sanding, maybe even try a CarPro Denim pad and if the actual "pop" or crater is only in the top surface it can be removed or at a minimum improved.
"You never know what you can do until you try"
If the pop created a tunnel from where it originated to the surface then grinding on it will just uncover more of the tunnel and remove precious paint needlessly.
These look like they will fix.

I have used a UV clearcoat in the past to dab into the pinholes , depending on how many. Then sand and polish back up.
They don't look too deep though.

That's sound very tedious...
Hats off to you for tackling such a procedure...

Sounds like they may be fish eyes.

Re: Solvent Popping in Fresh Paint
You run into this imperfection(s) when you rush flash times, usually in a production type scenario. Use the slowest reducers and activators you can get by with and extend the flash times on the p-sheet (product sheet), especially on hot and humid days. I push primers and basecoat flash times to their max, then hammer on the clear coats as they tack. These pops are on the very top (30 - 50%) of the clearcoat and often can be completely removed.
