It almost looks as though your wet coat was not that thick. If it were me I would be wet sanding it down and see what you have. If you sand and easily rub through the color into the primer you will know that the paint was not as thick as needed.

BTW.....I have been doing a large ammount of reading about paints and what not to mix and what brands to use, and have come to the conclusion (and most here will agree) you need to find a method that works for you and perfect it. Many on here still use a rattle can for paint and clear, some use paint only and polish that, some will only use an airbrush and one of those 2 methods.
I am working on a 66 Mustang and used Plasti-Coat primer, Tamiya TS-58 Pearl Light Blue and Color Place clear coat (the cheap stuff at Wal-mart for under $1) all rattle cans and it was my best paint job ever. Its all in the prep work and taking your time. NOTE: I wetsanded through one of the edges and am now repainting it

I'm huge on Duplicolor products myself. Agreed that if you want a nice finish, you have to either clear coat it or polish it out (best done on solid colors).

As far as my painting goes, I do it all outside regardless of the time of year or weather but rain, snow or darkness shuts me down. The best investment I made is to get a dehydrator for paint, putty drying. If the weather is cool or damp, I do the paint thing and get it cookin' ASAP.
