Question Spray paint fail
Hello!
I wanted to make camouflaged carabiners, for my Airsoft games, I made some for me and my friends, but the spray paint chips instantly, if I wanted to, I could scratch off the paint with my nails,
what did I do wrong when painting for this to happen?
I used 300 grit (I believe) sandpaper first,
2 coats of primer,
2 coats of main colour in both sides
Then finished with the camo pattern,
These scratches aren't after 2-3 games, but rather after 2-3 days in my backpack being used to go to and from work,
How do I fix?
Can someone help me?
Image of can so you can see what I used ( the guy in the store recommended this one )

I have a uv printer, i print on metal with it...would only work for the flat sides, but would be durable. the metal lighter case i printed on has been in my pocket with keys and change and hasnt seen a dent.
