Default Bedliner trouble

I used Al's bedliner on my roof yesterday. Prepped it like it recommended, and I'd done it on the bumpers previously, so I know that isn't the problem.

A rain cloud moved in right as I was finishing cleaning up and the 2nd coat (first went perfectly) was on for ~30 mins. It wasn't predicted and it looked clear on the radar earlier that day... Go figure.

Anyway, it got a bit wet and then I covered it up with a tarp. This morning it was dry, but it has lots of watermarks/spots where it looks like the 2nd coat didn't take. It seems like it adhered just fine, but it's sorta speckled now.
Anyone have advice on this? Should I just put another coat over it or do I need to strip?

I would just throw another coat on. Make it a bit heavy to cover the imperfections.
