I did rough the surface up to start with to give the paint something to key onto, but as I said I dont think I cleaned it properly.

err... so you used enamel paint over acrylic primer? (the otherway round would have been ok)
The solvant in the enamel has broken down the primer undercoat which is causing the paint to flake off.

I'dd invest in few litres of brake fluid and start again.
