Are you kidding?

Your paint isn't sticking?


That's not the paint's fault, it's your painting skills. You're just hosing it down basically, where you need to do light, feathery coats.

ok d00d...hold up...before you do anything else....read on how to spray paint...then go over it again with the primer...then do thin light coats of the paint. not heavy finger pressed on the button the whole time.
