A quick preview of what's to come....1991 GT Zaskar project.

hmmm. if it is a new can - it could also be temperature... as it gets colder the pressure inside the can drops. One trick is to put the can in a bucket of warmish (not hot!) water (about 25C for 30 mins) before spraying. As.a new can it could also be a production fault...rare, but I've had a couple over the years.

I might have to try that later, need to pick another can of paint first, lol
Though from what I have seen the paint does dry nice and shiny, I am using Simoniz Gloss black, it's just got a lot of drips and over spray atm.
I'll try the warm water tip next. Expect another update soon.

So I'm not sure where you are based - but I am guess temp is around 12C. - 14C? This is a bit cold for spraying without a warmed can or parts. I have done it though! Warm the can as I mentioned (keep the can upright and try not to submerge the nozzle area.) ..but also warm the forks - keep them inside till the last moment or a quick blast with a hairdryer. If the forks are cold there is a risk that the paint will condense and you can get the orange peel effect - multiple thin coats. Drips suggest that you might be placing heavier coats on.

Simoniz are good, I have used it, but typically for components and smaller parts.
