Is this normal wear & tear or a problem ?

Thanks guys, finishing is definitely the weak spot for me.

Jigman, I like that methodical step by step, that would definitely pinpoint the problem. Capesams, thanks for the lesson on paint compatability.

I'll keep it simple this round and see how it goes. Hopefully this winter I can go the airbrush route and then I can start mixing up the colors the way I want.
