Looks like the GW colored paints.
Just gota shake it harder or spray a little closer (or your weather might be effecting it)
If you can try to dust it off with a stiff brush.
Iv had dusty primer ruin models :/

It also looks like you sprayed on a hot and humid day. I've found that ruins the consistency of spray paint.

I've had this problem a few times over the years;Army painter sprays are the worst by far. Most people would suggest stripping the figures down and starting again but I have another option. I don't really paint minis anymore,instead I build model kits and have found a few things that would benefit the miniatures hobby.
For your problem I would suggest Micro mesh sanding/polishing/finishing papers. They come in a range of grades from coarse to very very smoothe. I would suggest you try the smoothest grade(12000). A few gentle rubs should make the grainy effect less noticeable.

This is one of the reasons why I'm looking into a cheap airbrush to use just for priming (and the odd basecoat if it's going over the entire model) and switching to probably Vallejo Surface Primer.

So I will let the painter decide if he can work with it or to strip it.
