Hello!
I've purchased the IKEA cork mats and have sprayed them flat black with the cheap Wally World cans, but I noticed that the painted is sort of rubbing off in this grainy feeling powder. Anyone else have that issue and/or know what to do to keep the black from rubbing completely off? Thanks all!
Edit: I did no prep work to them prior to spray painting, I just took them out of the package and started.

Had this problem with Wal-Mart gray spray primer, years ago. It seemed to happen once in a while. Brush off the loose stuff, then re-apply, if needed. The paint is drying before it hits the cork surface. Could be humidity, temperature, distance the can is from the material, or a bad can/batch. You could apply black craft paint, with a brush. Cheers!

If you are still having no luck, you can try a little mod podge mixed with acrylic black - that seems to stick to most things when I am having difficult with painting things!

I did manage to get the mats painted up (it's been a little nuts around the house lately!) and I painted over the spray job with matte paint. Seems to have worked fine for now. I did 4 mats that way, and another 4 with just acrylic paint. Time will tell I suppose!

spray paint should always be done in a controlled environment in order to not have problems with it. cool to paint outside but it is left to the temperature taste which sucks. thats why i do it in my house near a window with a box and blower throwing the fumes outside. that way it is controlled and gives much better results. garages, for those who have em, is also a great place.
if everything else fails... yeah paint it with a brush usually solves all problems.

I have had this happen as well. I had 60 pieces damage by the cheap spray paint. I no longer use it. The amount of time I lost correcting the damage was too much to chance it again. I use a better quality spray paint now.
