I painted three lids with pactra normal. This was my fisrt time ever painting something(I'm 13), from normal spray paint, a house, walls, anything. The paint sucked. The piant jobs looked like crap and i got all bumed out. Well i decided to try again with fascolor, and wow. What a difference, it went on so easy. I'm only on the 1st voat of my first color. So I'm letting it dry before i paint the secound coat. Pics to come!!!!
 
OK, what the hell is "copddels"?
There are a few tricks when spraying with cans. Yes, the paint can make a difference. Also, make sure you shake it well. Get it good and mixed. Then run the can under some warm water for a minute. That will warm the propellant in the can which increases it's pressure and will let it spray more consistently and with a finer mist.
And if you're using Faskolor, you can blow the paint dry with a hairdryer so you don't have to wait as long between coats.

And as usual, you're obligated to post pictures when you're done.
 
Wierd, I have had great luck with pactra. The color goes on very smooth and even for me. At least you're having good luck now, lets see some pics.
 
I'm using an airbrush, aztec metal. I ruined the paint job. I went to take off the mask to paint the flames and all the paint peeld away...
 
If you do decide to use that paint again, before lifting the mask lightly trace the edge of the mask with an xacto knife. that should keep the paint from lifting

What's a "voat?" :jk: Don't get impatient and start drying it with a hair dryer. The surface will be dry but underneath it'll still be mush and a slight rub will ruin it. After you're done, let it cure for a couple of days to make sure it's completely dry before running it.
