It looks like you sprayed it on to heavy.

Try

A light (mist)coat of paint.

(15 mini wait)

A Medium coat

(another 15min wait)

then a heavier (cover)coat should work.

ya need to use a white primer instead of the grey the yellow will cover better with less paint.. and yeah, a little heavy as it's 'pulling away' from high spots/seams

YEP what Weasel said, white primer. The paint is running away from the raised edges cuz of the grey primer. Use the Dupli-color or Plasti-kote white primer. Hope this helps Todd

Wow !!!Something went wrong somewhere for paint not to adhere to plastic after 3 tries. And just the hood ? Need to retrace something here. What about the body ? did you use the same technique on both ? The answer could be very simple....not technical.
