Thanks for all of the suggestions.

I purchased the Sealer / Primer / Paint-Reducer-Combo from TCP Global.

I'm in Illinois and the temp has really taken a nose dive, so I'm going to post-pone the painting until the spring since I'm trying to do this in my garage.

Thanks Again!

i would contact TCP Global and show them just what happened AND give them the id information off the cans that you have. this to make SURE you have the right materials. you posibly have some incompatible materials that may have been sent to you by mistake? worth a try, to figure out something like this you need to investigate everything. One other question, the material that you painted over, was it the original paint OR has the car had REPAINT?
