UPDATE:

Hi all!
Over the weekend, I was able to apply another coat of gloss black (this time I used the Rust-O-Leum Painter's Touch spray can instead of the white can version). Lots of sanding and waiting for paint to dry.

Anyways, I was wet sanding today (not very hard), but the darn things turned out kind of splotchy again. I was wondering if you are SUPPOSED to sand off the gloss on the paint? Every time I sand the darn things, the gloss comes off (now I know its not primer because I accidentally dropped my panel on the ground. I caught it but not before the corner paint got chipped off and showed a lovely light gray color).

Here are some pics:

By the way:
Just right after I put on the black coat, the wind picked up and some little bugs got stuck in the paint. Anyways, they left little "pock" marks in the paint. Should I sand them out using 220 grit or should I just apply another coat?

THANKS FOR ALL INPUT!!!!!!!!!!
