I hate painting, hate it and hate it some more.   After letting my main base sit nearly 3 days before clear coating it wrinkled.  I swear I have a bad can of paint, assuming that is even possible.  This is the one that came out a darker red than my last can of Krylon Cherry Red RTA9230.  The sub bases didn't do this, so I know how to wait enough time (and 48 hours is what the can says to do).

So I decided if I am having to strip the base again, I am stripping the other sub-bases too and getting another paint can and painting with one can.  At least I can get them primed... I am getting close to just using a big red sharpie!
