i am using a couple of stencils to practice with and i have a question.......when i spray the stencil's outline (craig fraser's lucky 13) i spray in black, and it looks like it should, but when i come back in with white to highlight, it seems the skulls look "fuzzy" and distorted, even though i am spraying a nice tight line.

i have a feeling it's the primer that i used.......it was cured, i don't think it was the paint.

any suggestions, it is a plastic welding helmet by the way.

Hmmm?....Did you sand your Primer after it cured and before you based it?...That would be my 1st guess....I like to sand whenever the paint allows...Just makes things so much smoother and glassy looking at the end result....Kinda need some more details...Some paints come out fuzzy/ bumpy lookin regardless..Might be that too??...I dunno?

White Sucks, especially the white I am using at the moment, As I have found out as Dell has said, if the prep aint right, you won't see any defects with the black until you highlight, then any uneveness stands out.

As Amir said, picks would help, but we should also know what kind of paints you used, what you reduced them with, and what kind of dry times and conditions you had.
All these things make a difference.
If you used a paint or reducer that is not compatible with the primer you used, then the solvent from the paint may have soaked into the primer and made the paint bleed along with it. There are a handful of possibilities, but without the base knowledge, it is hard for us to help.
