I have just checked with my son who works for an automotive paint supplier. 
I am not an expert in this matter but I have, in the (distant) past, used a 
fisheye additative when painting.  If I am reading my scribbled notes 
correctly, his basic information is:  if using a base coat, put on several 
very light coats with a very long flash time.  There is an additive for the 
clear if you are using it.  Additives are available for uncatalized 'old 
school' paints but not for today's catalized paints.  His most important 
recommendation - be patient.
