                        Use the flat paint(same color as the gloss) but goes on smoother, thinner and dries faster, then use a gloss coat(your preference) over it

                        Sorry, that's the best I've got. I airbrush nearly everything so my use of rattles cans is pretty limited. Wish I could help.

                        Thanks for the tip---preheating the can is something I've been doing but the results still suck. I now have a horizontal stabilizer that needs to be stripped of paint and redone. Back to the drawing board.

                        Sit the can in a pan of warm (NOT HOT!) water for a few minutes prior to spraying, and then spray in light, even coats. A rattle can doesn't give you a lot of control but those will help.

                        I'm about to try painting an A-1 from a Testor Model Master spray enamel (dark sea blue) can. Anybody have any quick hints to get a nice smooth finish? Some experiments on flat pieces of scrap plastic have not been encouraging--rippling, orange peeling, etc. Any inputs would be appreciated.
