That brings up good point.

Don, How long between coats of black did you wait?

FWIW, when I apply two coats of any color, they're just a few minutes apart.
...
My experiece in painting has been that the first coat functions as a "tack" coat. I just put on a thin application, with poor coverage, then wait 10-15 minutes. After that, I can put down a heavier second coat with little fear of runs. I then wait another 10-15 minutes, and apply a 3rd coat, if necessary, if there are still some thin or dry-looking spots.
