Bubble wrap marks on new paint

First here is the lesson:
Wrap freshly painted items in paper before wrapping in bubble wrap for transportation

Next the problem:
I had updated and colour-coded bumpers, arches etc painted. I then left everything packaged up for a few weeks because I was short on time to unpack and store safely.

However, in this time, in a few places on the arches the bubble wrap went completely flat and it has left marks in the painted parts. It feels flat to the touch and nothing has stuck. It's a little soul destroying right now not least because the finish was perfect before wrapping for transport.

I've googled this a little but there's not much and I couldn't find a "game over" account of this situation so I am hopeful there is a fix at home solution

To anyone with knowledge in this area, your input would be most valued!

Thanks,

Andy

Are they in a 2pk laquer?

Assuming the paint isn't soft, Just flat down with 2000 paper and buff back with G3 or similar Thumbs Up
