Spray Paint on a Chest of Drawers turning out blotchy
I spray painted my chest of drawers with Rustoleum 2x Paint and Primer. On the top and sides it is turning out very blotchy. I have followed all the instructions and it still isn't coming out right. Should I top coat it? Will that make it more even or should I continue to spray it until the coverage is even? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

No way would I have ever used a rattle can to try and refinish furniture.
Regular Zinsser 123 primer and enamel paint with a foam roller and a quality sash brush, or a real HVLP sprayer would have been far better.
No such thing as a primer and paint and one over bare wood, despite what the hype says.
DIY's want it fast and easy, no sanding, no proper prep work, no two step process.
Apply many more thin coats with what you started it with and it will even out.
