remember to start and end the spray off the edge of the piece, that way you won't have build-up on the edges. When I'm spraying larger items (car bodies, motorcycle tanks, etc.) I actually pull the gun further away from the item as I go over my edges (especially if I'm only doing a panel or respray). Go slow and don't over-spray, and you shouldn't have any problems.

put the can in warm water for 5 - 10 mins, warmer spray gives a more even finish.

Not really a problem for me either, most times I spray in a heated/humidity controlled booth...

yeah i think you have to sand it thou, becuase i just sprayed myne, and it didnt stick watsoever

I think I did it too close so my trim's a mess.
Hopefully, I will be able to spray over it...

If it comes out wrong, just sand off a try again.
Always sand something before spraying, gives it a better finish.
