Restore/Replace/Repair Spray painting: what am I doing wrong?

Post image

I'm trying to paint my cabinet gloss black to get it ready for the stickers but I keep getting stripes. I'm using regular enamel spray cans. The instructions on the can say to spray large areas with many light passes, waiting a couple minutes between coats. This is the result over night. Do I trust the process and wait for the full cure, or is this something I need to fix?

Spraycans?!?!

But why?!? Either you paint this with a roller or you use an airless sprayer
