i need help. i am having trouble painting my interior pieces. is having TO MUCH paint really that bad?

here is my situation:
i used the krylon fusion paint( 2 light coats, then 2-3 med/heavier coats). looked good so i added 3 coats of of clear coat. then went on errands. when i got home the paint had turned all hazy looking. so i thought it was because of the clear coat. so i added 2 light coats of fusion paint. so by now i got like 10 coats on my pieces. just read online that it is normal for clear coat to be hazy and it will disappear as it dries. so i am just wondering if it will be alright if i just add another coat of clear coat. or have i completely screwed up and i need to redo the whole thing again.

i used krylon clear coat. and i was thinking that it was because it was cold outside. well im in hawaii so cold is like 70 degrees. anyways what do you mean by peeling. because i love the way it looks(color/texture). but i wanted the glassy look.

Orange peel. Yeah I got super drunk and thought it would be cool to paint my interior. Now this was in late Jan early Feb and it was about 40ish that night (or somewhere around there). I was planning on painting the interior, but not that early. And Im guessing since it was cold outside the paint (when applied) seemed to go on fine, but as I was finishing up the paint started to orange peel (ie small pits). The first piece (center console) didnt turn out too bad actually, but the ones I did after really got f'd up. SO i've been slowly replacing all the parts. Im gonna take the old ones strip/sand and take a stab at carbon fiber (worked w/fiberglass when I fixed boats so it should not be that hard). What I should of done it either wait or use a heat gun.
