all i did on my capper was key up the existing paintwork and spray it ...

rub the whole car down with scotch pads to key the body, prime it if you want, but id just lay the paint on if its not bare metal. as stated above use rattle cans, the only way to get it to look right is to lay loads of paint on, 1 light coat at a time and hold the can quite far away from the panel, otherwise you'll get slightly shiny patches which looks pants:

just take your time and get it on nice and even

perhaps you just aint put enough on mate, its one of those paints where you can see thin spots. lamp it on
