Hmmm...I used flat black Krylon as well, but I don't recall priming it before. If I did, it would have been with an aluminum etching type of primer that I bought at Auto Zone, which I used on my diffuser.
One thing I do remember is that I painted it on a pretty warm day with low humidity. I also recall doing several very light coats, letting it dry in between each one. Is it possible you might have put it on too thick?
Good luck!
