You almost certainly painted it in a room that was too cold, :thumbdown:
Been there as have an awful lot of us,
sorry for the bad news.
Remember it was only another coat of (clear)paint so paint over it WHEN it dry's with another coat of top coat in a WARM room.
Shaun.

I actually quite like that! Get a photo on a frosty morning with a bit of mist and it will look great! I had this happen to me once too dude, like they say just paint over it, you don't learn with out making a few mistakes long the way mate, I have made plenty!

Mistake or not it looks flipping fantastic! Hell I'd leave it as is and call it winter camo. Wow man it looks great really.
