Default The Road to Do-Over

I waited a week for the rain to stop and the dewpoint to drop so I could paint my steering column.

I ended up with a wrinkled mess and am now on the road to Do-Over, USA, which is a well-traveled highway in my garage.

I don't know anything about the paint chemistry (pic attached). I tested on a light primer and it looked too flat and too light, so I decided to spray it on top of a gloss black enamel, which did darken the color.

How do I avoid this next time?

Did this happen because the aerosol didn't like the gloss enamel or because I sprayed in multiple passes instead of one heavy coat?

Because the color is metallic, I heard it would look wrong if I did it in multiple coats, so was trying to keep it wet with a few multiple passes in quick succession.
