Your using too much paint in 1 coat. Do 3 or 4 light coats not 1 thick one.

My Mk3 Escort was the same. I fitted EsCos wheels, just glued them on.

Then after a few months, I got round to doing them properly. Just filed down the spindle that holds them in place & glued them back on.

Now it looks like this. Camber on the front isnt right but it looks fine in the box.
