Arrrrr yes, the perils of oil. I remenber once having to go through a very similier learning curve with a large scale HMS Illustrious... A great kit which took its three coats of paint with out a murmer and then shed the lot over the next month of pond trials!

sand paper and lighter fuel works wonders before base coating...much as i hate to say it, you might want to consider a full strip and re-spray as the chances are you will be faced with more shedding.

Train hard, fight easy!
