Brand doesn't matter. Did you use the same TYPE of materials? Example, acryllic enamel and a urethane based paint...

Had the same problem happen to me. A lot of people said I didnt mix properly but the fact was there was no sealer under the paint (went from aftermarket oem fender to primer to paint) and the clear coat was getting under the paint and running causing it to crack... After 3 times of removing paint and feather edging it smooth I ended up taking it to a paint shop where they had to strip the WHOLE fender and they ended up taking it to bare metal and sealing it after 2 tries...

You only have 24 hours to spray clear after basecoat so no you cant wait a couple of days.
