I always use krylon primer before I paint anything, and before that I make sure the item gets a good wipe down.
One very even coat of primer, using smooth even strokes with the can.
Allow to dry over night, I usually let something sit for 12-16 hours just cause thats the amount of time it can take me to get back to it.
One coat of the color you are using, allow 8-12 hours to dry and a room with good circulating area
Final coat, allow to dry for 12 hours.
If your like me where you only paint one side at a time, the process to paint something could take place over a whole week.
After its finally dry I give it a good wipe over with a old fabric cloth to remove anything that might come off, but to this date Ive never used clear coat and have had very little issues with color coming off.
Im not a pro painter , Im very amatuer in fact, but a little research on spray painting techniques via google went a long way for me.
