be patient, hmmmm
Hard to do when you've got limited build time, and the weather is not cooperating, and you've got to shoot primer, then 2-3 coats of color on the one day available to work on it.

I DO use Dupli Color's self etching primer on the aluminum parts, and the paint seems to stick better, less chipping.

And I do warm up the cans in a pot of hot water.

But the results are less than perfect - - -more practice, I guess.
