Ah, reading directions helps. I feel a little stupid, but I can't read the small print on the cans. Anyways, after finding some reading glasses and clear coating the forks which had no decals here's the problem. The clear coat needs to be applied within 30 minutes or after 48 hours at 72 degrees. My bike is in the basement, so it's cooler than 72 degrees. I am applying clear coat after 30 minutes, but before color coat is compeltely hardened. Evidently when I am applying the clear coat, the carrier is breaking down the semi-cured color coat and the color coat is shrinking and wrinkling. Seeing the forks do this and they had no decals proves to me that this is the case. Too big of a hurry to get the clear coat on and see what the finished product looks like. I'll let everything dry for 4-5 days, sand smooth and try to get by with just applying the clear coat again as long as I don't sand through color coat. Helps to read instructions :-)
FYI,
