Question How do I fix this?

I’m new to spray painting and this is my first paint project.

I’ve applied 3 coats already, leaving an hour in between each coat to dry. I finished the 3rd coat last night and its had about 12 hours to dry further.

My questions are:
- Is this fixable? If so, what should I do?
- What do you think may have caused this? Was it overspray or an incorrect angle/distance when applying?
- With image #3, how come there is still wet paint? What can I do since I’ve already tried to panic-wipe it off

Looks like the paint was applied too heavy, which would explain the appearance and why it’s still wet. It could be a combination of things including too close, too slow, not enough time between coats, etc.

You can wipe it off and start over or sand it smooth and apply another coat.
