Duplicolor ceramic engine paint issues

I've found that trick with that paint is to lay the final coat on heavy and wet.

Of course it's a fine line between getting it right, and going too far and having it run...

I don't care for that paint anymore though as it goes on like water at first and no matter how careful of a prep job I do, I always get a few spots that flake or chip too easily soon after. (Ususlly right up front where you see them like on the big block I.D. pad LOL).
Seems to be becoming an issue with most rattle-can paints anymore...you get two bad ones for every one good one. Proper paint and spray-gun is the best but I haven't gone that route yet.
