keep the gun / rattle can 18"'s away from the panel.....it helps to keep the layers even and helps reduce the chance of runs.

i bet you did it in the sun ? if so ...........
Key up the whole bonnet with a soft scotch pad then..........
Dont do it in the blareing hot sun as this causes the paint to dry unevenly and will cause it to become patchy even more so with satin or matt black
do it in the shade the whole bonnet needs to be wet and then needs to dry as a whole.
Hope this helps dean
