Usually this is the result of converting copper sulfate stains (turquoise) to cupric oxide (grey-black) by oxidation from the shock (calcium hypochlorite) sitting directly on the copper stains. Avoid this by shocking with liquid chlorine or pre-dissolving the granular shock so it doesn't sit right on the plaster. Often the grey-black stains can be reconstituted to turquoise sulfate by letting alum (aluminum sulfate) sit on the same spot. This has to be done relatively soon, though, before calcification covers the stains with a layer of carbonate that the alum can't soak through...

Iron in water - should run filter for 12 hrs after refilling or toping off the pool and adding a treatment or chlorine. Your plastered pool most likely was not painted unless you know this for a fact. Plastered pool are not painted unless you are trying to hide something. The staining can only be removed by the process of a light acid wash of the plaster. Treat your pool with a sequestering agent or stain out product once in a while to prevent this in the future.
