Default Powder not sticking on second coat!

I have only powdered a few times before. This time I used a chrome powder, totally cured it, pulled the piece and waited till the temp got to 180 and then tried to powder it. The candy powder just shot right off of it and would not coat. I checked the ground by getting too close and it sparked. The gun I used does not have a voltage adjustment.
Was the chrome base coat too thick? I put the piece back in and got it to flow temp of 200 and then tried to powder it again, it worked a little better but still bounced off or passed by the piece not sticking.
What am I doing wrong?
