I usually aribrush my testors rattle can pin and recieve very good results, but I have always had a problem with the gloss black it just never wants to lay down right.

Try warming up the paint by setting it in a bowl of medium to hot water. Warm paint always seems to spray alot thinner than cool or cold paint. Or you could go the route I took and quit useing Testors gloss black. I now use Krylon gloss black spayed in thin coats over a thin coat of Krylon grey primer.

Testors has a history of bubbles
 I had the same problem on my Skyline. I would suggest either spraying farther away or getting some Tamiya paint.

I find the paint is to slow from the can and sprays on way to thick (Testors)

testors sucks
Yeah, I have bad experiences with testors also but it's all that was available to me
Their metallic sprays are so uneven I couldn't spray one car with an even coat. And I'm pretty good with the rattle cans!  Testors can kiss my  as far as spray goes but the bottle paints are okay for detailing stuff.

I never had a good experience with Testors Spray cans. I've seen people get really good finishes out of them. I usually airbrush the paint instead if I can't seem to find the color in anything other than Testors or Model Masters. I never really thought that Testors Black really looked black...more like a really dark purple.
