Thank you folks for the good info. I confess I am somewhat of a painter from yester years gone by now. I agree with all the info, but I think my most problem stems from over laping. If you paint a long panel or a "cube" - as in the inside of a cab of a truck - you are bound to over lap. I like em slick too! ha. Anyway I will take all of the coments to heart. When I wind this deal up I believe I am going to go to base coat/clear coat.
Blessings on you all. Bill Morrison
