Default Q? on clearcoating rims.

so i painted my oem rims white..first i used primer then couple of coats of white,then finished it of with dupli-color clear wheel coat.
so i left it in my garage for it to dry up and took a 30 minute break..
when i came back to check out my rims i noticed some parts of my rims turned orangy like color..
did i use to much clear coat??
can i still take the discoloration of by sanding it down with a fine grit sandpaper?
thanks in advance!

You have orange peel. You'll have to sand and polish the paint. Then I would clear it.
