Default 2nd coat is messed up?!?!?!

I did a frame for a guy and i decided i would spray a 2nd coat on after it had cooled because i had missed a few spots. So i pre-heated the frame and then coated and it came out looking like a satin finish that is grainy. What did i do wrong?

Exactly- the metal is hot enough to melt the powder but not to let it flow out. Also if the second coat isn't thick enough (due to not enough power, poor lighting ect..) it will have a grainy finish.
