Wash it off with whatever takes off Krylon and use ONLY acrylic paints. Use an acrylic sealer to hold the paint on and prevent chipping.

Ok, silly question but I need to ask: did you already bake the Sculpey to cure it before painting it, or did you paint it while still soft?
I've cured Sculpey in the past, and primered / painted with Krylon with no problems.

you could also put it in the oven at a very low temp for a day or hit it with a hairdryer for several hours. I'm sure it will eventually dry if the sculpet was baked. I've painted sculpey with all kinds of paint before...

Krylon sucks.

That may destroy the sculpey.
Hit it with the blow-dryer. Don't use an oven you use for cooking EVER when you have painted it.
For the most part... you are risking the original sculpt if you try to paint it.

Sounds like you'll be okay with time. Maybe you were being heavy handed with your coats. Temperature and humidity can also influence the dry time. This time of year (where I am anyway) I always have to consider the cooler temperatures.
I hope it all works out for you.

After it's continued to dry for a few days, would a light coat of Testors Dulcote help at all? I use it on action figures that I've modified with Sculpy all the time, but I don't know how the Krylon would react with it.
I'd strongly recommend against putting anything like that back in an oven. Sculpy puts off some pretty toxic fumes. Most folk don't notice because they've got good oven ventilation--or do small items.
I learned this the hard/stupid way doing batches of larger sculps, in an ancient apartment with terrible ventilation. Long story short: roommate and I had to evacuate the apartment, throw all the windows open and walk it off outside for an hour in the middle of winter. I made us both terribly sick, had to call poison control. It was a mess.
I'd hate to think what kind of combined fumes would be created from Sculpy and Krylon.

Let it sit under a desk lamp or some such for a few days, that's what I do.
