I ran into the same issue when painting my intake. I found the best method was to simply do a light coat and then walk away. Resist the temptation to just lay it on while you are there.

My patience usually does get the best of me where I want to see results right away, but I was dead set on taking time with my prep, which I did. Definitely didn’t feel like I was going heavy, but I’ll learn from it. Another valve cover to go, hopefully I’ll have it down by the time I get to the intake!
I was the same way. I actually messed up my first attempt and needed to restrip the intake over and start over. First time I went way too heavy with too short a period between coats and the paint actually lifted. Second time around I had to learn to slow down.
There’s my “learn something new everyday” for today. Thanks!
Will applying a few more LIGHT coats get it to blend in. I’m not looking for perfect. Much of it will be hidden under the intake anyway.
Thanks. I’ll give it a shot. I have the day off tomorrow to try to get it fixed up. This is my test piece. If I can get this to where I’m happy with it, I’ll move forward with the other cover and the intake.
