dont dust it on, it will look like the side of a box of matches,the striking part :grin:
you need to get a nice even coat but dont go to much, you dont want any runs,sags.
what you using 1k(rattle can) or 2k stuff??
once you have given it a nice decent coat dont be tempted to give it another to soon, let it tack of, not dry though just tacky.

just nice even coats not to dry but no to wet either, somewhere in the middle,lol
after the 2nd coat you should sort of see the finnish your after.
what is it your painting??

this was with the last coat, you can see the finnish has got some shine, it didnt take long to polish up :smiley:

i would rub them down with 800 wet and dry then a few coats of primer leave these to dry(maybe over night) then rub down again with the 800w/d then colour and laq.  i would leave 10 mins between coats dependant on how warm it is where you do them.

or if your primer goes on nice and smooth you can paint strait on to it no need to let it dry overnight.
where abouts are you? are they just goint black?
