Definitely take your time on all coats especially prime and base. One thick coat each? When laying down base you really should do at least 2-3 sweep mist coats and then 1-2 wet coats.
Read PMan's how-to on painting. Great stuff.
This is what kind of results I get from my method. This shot doesn't even do the actual reflection justice. If the shot weren't a little blurry you'd be able to read the Japanese off the bottle.

that's exactly how I do it. Just, I don't get those reflections. I lay down 4 coats of base 3 mist, 1 medium thick coat. Let dry for at least 24hrs. Maybe you should strip the wing of it's paint, sand, and start over again. The wing is the only place you've rushed, everywhere else is fine, that and on the hood and such, but I've done that before, so I can't complain there.
