How many coats of paint did you do? I know when I prime stuff then paint with anything other the black white or silver I have to use quite a few coats to get the colour to overpower the primer.

I did about 4-5 coats on each mirror, idk if the primer didn't dry right initially or if its something like that, but i used about a whole can of duplicolor paint on them and this is how they turned out

What kind of primer did you use? Looks like a bad reaction between the primer and paint.
