Yeah I have drips everywhere on my car. I plan on sanding it down sometime later and doing another coat of flat black.

I only have one word to say:

Krylon

They might cost more but they are better quality stuff.

wow you spent nice hours on it.

I woulda skipped the primer and just flat blacked it.

You say you have drip marks? you might be painting too close. Paint about 6-8 inches away from the body, make that paint about 10-12 inches away from the body, and apply thin semi even coats. Doesn't have to be completely even, just more or less cover the general area.

The 94 cent paint jobs can come out clean, I've done it before, but the Dupicolor paints are easier to work with and look better.
