I\'d like to know how this happens too. It happens to my friend when he paints white, but then, he can\'t paint properly, so it\'s probably just him.lol

i read somwhere that you should apply a coat of \"ard coat\" vanish after cleaning the model before you prime, try that, if it works post on here so that everyone will know what to do

hope this helps

It could be one of a few things:
Spray can not shaken up enough. Shake the Hell out of it! :D
Spraying from too great a distance, you should spray from about 8-10 inches away.
Humiditly/cold, a major problem here in Seattle.
The spray paint is not up to room temperature, try soaking it in hot water.
Not letting the 1st coat of paint dry properly. Use 3-4 thin coats as opposed to 1 thick coat.

I have had the same problem in the past and these were the common problems.

I hope this may help.
