"Hammer Finish" paint is a mix of lacquer and enamel paints! make sure that you shake very VERY well and OFTEN or else your look will not be even at all! Multiple light coats in fairly rapid succession (while previous coat is still tacky, but not wet) will get you the best finish. also, the razor blade trick works great on flat surfaces, and not necessarily so well on something like a steering column! And it takes some practice, but using a blade and then scuffing the whole thing and re coating the whole thing might have worked here being as the lacquer and enamel paints don't mix and therefore look best on slightly uneven surfaces anyway!
By the way; Shouldn't this be in "Paint and Body"?
