I painted multiple PLA plastic parts with gloss black spray paint from montana. It looked exactly what I was looking for. After 24 hours of curing, I applied one coat of gloss acrylic clear coat from about 15–20 cm away. After around 10–15 minutes, the clear-coated part looked noticeably less glossy than the uncoated one. It seems like a slightly dry with grey dots everywhere. Did I do something wrong? How can I get the dark black glossy effect again? Should I polish the part and repaint it?

The first photo is the torso armor after the clear coat where you can see the grey dot thing I am talking about, and the gloss is gone.

The second photo is the leg, before the clear coat, its a bit dusty but has the gloss and looks fine.

The thrid photo are both legs, on the left no coat, the right with coat.
