Some painting questions

I thought I was starting to get the hang of the airbrush, but I've been having some issues with paint adhesion. Basically I'm doing thin coats and hitting it with a hair dryer after each coat until I get enough color down. Usually 2 or 3 thin coats.
I'm using rusto painters touch primer, then sanding with 400, I use createx or apple barrel paint and thin with water. After the plug is painted I hit the whole plug for a minute or 2 with the hair dryer to kind of heat set it,everything came out nice until I started to wire it up. A small bit of paint stuck to my glove and peeled up. I'm wondering if I need to sand the primed plug better or is this a paint problem? Should I be heat setting the paint differently? Tried to get a better picture but my camera sucks..
Thanks for all the help, I hope everyone's having a great season so far
