Having the worst time in my life trying to paint!!

1986 Honda Aero 50, I need to repaint all my plastic body covers gloss black, the factory colors, and no matter what I do, how much I prep and sand, and no matter what paint I try (even fusuin) the paint will not go on smooth. It goes on real bumpy, and your reflection is garbled. Other colors look great, but I cant get the gloss black to look good. Any suggestions? I dont know what to do anymore. Should I pitch the rattle cans and use an air gun? Any suggestions please??

spray it on heavier, but practice first

what is the best kind of paint to use? Krylon fusion doesnt shine very good when it is dry, also should I clearcoat when done? if so laquer or enamel? Thanks

Ii suppose i could have a body shop do them

OH! i got the perfect solution for you! use the high temp gloss black. i sprayed my entire fender and everything with it, its so nice and covers and shines perfect.

Which temp should I use? are you talking about engine enamel high temp, up to 500 degrees? also will that flex or will it crack and flake over time?

yeah its the engine enamel paint, 500 degrees, no it wont crack or chip

ok i will try that tomorrow, should I clearcoat afterwards? if so, laquer or enamel clear, also does the paint have to cure first?
