I believe it was because I didn't strip it all the way down before re-doing it. In the process of stripping it back down some of the paint was pretty gooey. I think some of the paint thinner hadn't dried out either. So that's probably the main reason.

Nice job, but I have to ask did you leave the wheel weights on when you painted them?

No, I took them off. Then went to wal mart and had them balanced again.
