I like the qualities of enamel paint as well. It goes on thick and smooth. It flows nicely and tightens up even more as it dries. The choice of colors is quite large, too. Recoat within an hour or 24 hours is okay by me. I've done both.

I just looked at my birds today and found the globs to be less noticeable today now that the paint has hardened. Also, there is only one glob on each of the rockets and not in a terribly obvious location.

What I try to do is shake the crap out of the can before and during the spraying operation. I also try to remember to start my spray passes well off the subject to allow the globs to miss the bird. Cleaning/wiping the nozzle every couple of passes would probably help, too.

Keep reminding myself these are flying rockets, not display models. Between hard landings and hangar rash, there will flaws/scratches/dings/etc. before very long.
