Chances are it was repainted without being properly primed. Strip or sand paint off and start over. -

The original gloss should have been sanded and primed. I'm guessing it wasn't. If I had this problem, I would try sanding the entire area and trying to feather in where there were marks from missing paint. If I couldn't get all of the marks and unevenness out, I'd use some type of filler to fill them in the sand them smooth. Not it's ready to basically start over. Use a good primer like Kilz or Zinsser and when that's dry, use a new gloss paint to finish the project. Depending on what it is, it could also be a good idea to use a coat of poly just to seal everything in. Wishing you the best. -

Depending on how much and what this can be a hard lesson to learn. Even using primer that advertises you don't have to sand will always yield better results if you clean and do something to kill the gloss. -

Use paint remover and then undercoat and then topcoat. You did not give it a key to grip on to.......
