I hit mine with a scotch brite pad, then Duplicolor primer, then cheap Krylon flat black I already had. No issues yet and I live on a gravel road. Sorry you're having trouble with yours.

Two reasons I can think of right now...
-Cheap paint
-Or, you didn't wait long enough between coats
The latter be most likely the culprit...

or too heavy of coats, which I guess relays back to the "not enough time between" eh..

Yep, heavier coats take longer to dry, so you're back to square one...
The common mistake people do is to load up the first coat.
The first coat is the "bond" coat only, especially with non catalytic paints (rattlle cans etc...).
Do not try to cover everything with the first coat.
Let all the reactions/contaminations be locked in that first coat, then you can build up from there.
