I'm trying to paint the fins in my vents white using Krylon Fusion. I clean the fins to the best of my ability and start spraying. Here inlies the problem, When I try to spray on the krylon, the paint doesn't stick and seems to run off like water. I'm not sure what I am doing wrong or is that just a characteristic of krylon fusion?

back away, it says on hte can like 8-10 inches, but seriously, its beeter to be about 16 or more away, and use short sweeping sprays, dont try to cover everything in 1 coat either
Thanks for the input. I'll try again tomorrow, hopefully it'll work out.
When I painted my inrerior I learned the hard way (just like 90% of the others).
1. make sure the part is cleaned very good
2. make sure part is dry
3. spray from a min. of 1 foot away.
4.Spray in sweeps, making sure you start the spray before the part and end it after the parts.
5. do thin coats
6. leave time in between coats so paint will become tacky. I waited about 30 -60 seconds.
7. add a few coats, i did 6
8. leave time to dry. let them sit over night and dont touch them.
9. if you messed up, then do what i did. Pick you favorite four letter choice word. And scream it. (repeat if needed) then sand the part down and start over. lol
This is no way is the bible for painting but a nice guideline. Hope it helps.
you dont have to be real far away. just make sure is clean it has been scufed so the paint will have something to attach to. apply thin coats and take your time mabye go 10 min in between coats and you should be fine.
Thanks all for the input. I tried again today and got much better results. Instead of trying to cover the fins in one fell swoop I simply backed away and applied lots of thin coats. Sure it takes longer, but it's looking great. Again, thanks for all the help.
and slimmatic, I used your guide to paint my dash, I was just having troubles using the Krylon Fusion as it's MUCH different than spraying through a gun. Great write-up btw
