To keep things in order I posted this on another site and thought someone might be able to help me out here:

First Post:
Ok, I got the Norrels Molyresin and painted IAW directions. I just did a lower a few minutes ago and it looks horrible (did not bake it yet). There are shiny spots and it feels like it is rubbing off. I have not cured this part yet.
The rest of the parts feel like a very fine grit of sandpaper. I baked them and it seems like has gotten a little more texture, but not smooth.
What am I doing wrong? Do I need to sand them down again? How do I fix the lower?
Thanks…

I did check the FAQ. I only touched the parts when I was done painting and just before I was putting it in the oven (which I was told would be fine since the paint was already applied over a clean surface. I blasted the parts with aluminum oxide and wash the parts. I then hit them with break cleaner. I wore nitride gloves during the entire process and changed them after each step. Everything was very sterile until I had the paint set for almost 24hrs.
As far as the lower goes, I took Acetone and it cleaned right off (did not oven cure the lower since I was not satisfied with the finish).
So why are the parts getting a rough finish? How do I apply the paint so it goes on better?

The second post was in response to a question as to why I touched it and did I read the FAQ. Any ideas?:banghead:
