Greg, I've never had much success with glosses from a rattle can. My guess would be the issue arose in the application of your main colors since you mentioned that you fine-sanded the primer. Pressure might have been too high, airbrush might have been held too far away from the surface, or the paint may not have been thinned enough. In any case, I would let your model sit for at least a day, maybe more, until the gloss you applied is fully cured, and then fine-sand it again, wipe the sanding dust away, and airbrush some Future onto it as your gloss coat. Spray it at about 15 psi, work slowly, and don't hold the airbrush more than 6" - 8" from the surface of your Spit. Your off to a fine start and I wouldn't let a small setback like this put you into panic mode. It's really not as bad as it may seem right now.
