Mike....KRYLON is the lousiest paint you can buy. It's soft, it has poor adherence and chips if you look at it!
Everything is sacrificed for quick drying time.
I have banned it from my garage 30 years ago.
Rustoleum Satin black for instance is some 400% more durable than Krylon.
If you're a crafter, or model airplane maker, of your kids are doing a school project, Krylon is fine.
There's an old saying in the adhesive industry; " the longer it takes to dry, the better it is".
For restoring a $25.000 car with a 'rattle-can'....at least use the best.

is the painted surface like sandy feeling or did it dry nice and smooth?
I would still use a scotchbrite and scuff it all up before applying more coats. i would prep a piece of metal or something to do a test spray on. if it looks good, move onto the firewall.
I use SEM trim black paint on mine. I use it for all sorts of things. its got a pretty nice spray fan and its pretty forgiving if you apply it uneven.
it dries with a really even sheen, and it flows out smooth even when it starts to spray huge droplets.
If you decide to try something else on it try painting a small area first, te krylon stuff is advertised as laquer, regular enamels can fry up if applied to heavily.
