Default Cracks in the paint

I've painted many parts for my PT over the years and never had any problems. Lately, I've been trying to paint some parts for my new car and keep running into problems. I'm painting splash guards. I primed them, added 3 coats of paint and clear coat. When I add the clear, the paint will crack in about 2 minutes. I sanded off the paint a few days ago and reprimed and repainted. Went out this afternoon to add the clear and once again the paint cracked. I got the front set painted with no trouble, but the rear set is driving me nuts. All parts were cleaned with alcohol and the temperature has been in the 70's all week. I waited 2 days between the last coat of paint and the clear. I'm running out of patience and paint.
