Could someone recommend how to paint fiberglass. I bought an ARF and the wheel pants and cowl don’t match. I tried using the coverlette spray but all it dose is run.
Thanks

You probably want to clean the surface to be painted thoroughly, then rough it up with steel wool. Shoot a coat of primer, sand out the primer wit 240 grit , then paint.

The surface has to be prepared properly, and cleaned with thinner. Primer is a must, only a light coat. Mist the paint on very lightyl with several coats, waiting until the previous coat is partially dry. I suspect that you are trying to apply the paint to heavy, and too fast.
