Has anyone had problems with rustoleum spraypaint? Whenever I try to use it, I get strange bands even though I do light coats.




That last picture shown here clearly shows your technique is poor for application. Spray cans only paint reasonably well if they have a "Fan Spray" tip/nozzel on them. That is your first problem.

The second problem is that shaking-the-can-all-over-the-place technique you use to apply. That will NEVER give good results, and I HATE seeing people doing that! I even see it on those DIY TV shows!

Smooth, steady, even, side-to-side strokes will give you the best results.

Then again, why people won't spend $35.00 for a half-way decent detail gun is beyond me? Keep at it, you'll get it!
