I recently used the Krylon single stage Epoxy appliance paint and if I remember correctly you have initial short recoat time when applying the paint and then must wait several days (1 week?) before recoating with the same paint. Other wise it will cause blistering or ripples.
I would stick with the duplicolor and not mix them with krylon or other different paints.Could have unexpexted results later from the nitro fuel.

David,
Bummer!
After reading your latest post I did a little investigating on what is called Epoxy Appliance Paint. Before I get to that I need to mention that in my previous post I wrongly listed Krylon as the product i used. The product I used was the Rustoleum brandof Epoxy Appliance paint. Both are Enamels but the Rustoleum brand takes way longer to dry and is where I got the info I quoted in my previous post.I forgot thatif you want a rattle can paint that drys fast you need to use the Krylonbrand.
I went to both websites and it turns out both companys are using the the term "Epoxy" very loosely. Both products are in fact a type of Enamel Paint andnot really Epoxy based at all as far as a thermosetting polymer.Normally, an epoxy paintis composed of two parts, a resin and a hardener. Not so with these so called Epoxy Appliance paints currently being marketed by both company's
Since these Epoxy paints are really enamels I think this may be the cause of the discoloration you experienced.
According to the link page above to the LustreKoat Clear page, Tower hobbies tech notes is claiming that LustreKote is an Acrylic Lacquer Paint not an Acrylic Enamel. If that's the case then here's what probably caused the discoloration. I believe lacquers over enamels are not compatiable thereby casuing the discoloration.
Using the chart the Paul posted in post 21, and using C = compatible and N for not compatible than according to thechart it shows N as far asusing lacquer over enamel.
At first I thought maybe the LustreKoat had blushed, like what happens when you try to use epoxy laminating resin when its to humid or cold. If that was the case you could have possibly wet sanded the offending clear coat off.
Did the other colors change hue? If not, this could bea solution as you could sand off the clear as best you can then recoat the white and touchup the other colors. PITA, I know but I have a feeling your not going to be satisfied unless it's right. Which probably means sanding off all the white and starting over. Bigger PITA.
Not that you would want too, but does Monokote have a matching creme color for the wings?
