Default nightshade FTL

man i dont know how you guys sprayed this stuff without it running like crazy, i had to redo one of my tailights 2 times and i still got runs in it, the other one isnt too bad but my side markers also came out like ***, i have to call summit racing cuz one of the cans had the tip broken off and was only like 1/2 full, so maybe ill remove them with paint thinner and try it again, anyone have any suggestions on how to not get runs? i read the sticky but still had runs.

If you're getting runs you are spraying waaaaaaaaay too much. Spray just a little bit on there at a time, let it dry ~10 minutes in between.

I did the sidemarkers and CHMSL on my T/A and now the taillights on my GTP with two cans from AfterThoughts. I didn't sand anything. I just cleaned them up, dried with a microfiber towel and sprayed away. No runs.

I'd start fresh. Strip the current application off, and re-sand as well.
