AHHHHH...Is It Just Me OR....

........do other people have trouble with plain old white?

Normally when I spray, I get a pretty good finish and only need a little polishing.

But trying to do just the back end of the Supra?.....Oh no...Driving me up the bloody wall! All dull and rough!

Sorry, just had to get it off my chest. Thanks for listening.

I firmly have to agree, sadly, I find White the hardest coluor to get right , especially with complicated surfaces...

Black and white give me fits. You have to get them perfect, or it really shows up.

White is a colour you need very little paint of.
Its important to have a nice thin even coat as it covers really well over white primer.
Try the thin mist coats first and see how it goes. Its one colour you dont seem to need a thick coat to cover.
