If its what I think you are talking about... No. The gun was probably held too close to the surface when it was painted especially if its a metalic.

When you spray metallic, you have to do a criss cross pattern to make sure the actual flakes are evenly distributed. If you didnt criss cross, it will stay striped. Best thing to do is sand it down a little and put on a few more coats and try and criss cross the pattern to try and even it out. If its not metallic, then i dont know what your talking about. Pics would help

It's called mottling.

You don't necc. need to do a criss cross pattern when painting metallics. It's is just one of many techniques used to make them go away if you do get them. And the fact you had a metallic single stage sprayed on the car is a big part of the reason. With single stage's your trying to pound the material on in order to get it to lay out nice a somewhat flat. But by doing so your making the metallic puddle up and the hardner is not allowing it flow out properly. I'd have it redone with basecoat clearcoat.
