Make sure your hands are clean , wipe plug down with denatured alcahol , make sure to scuff , and make sure e-tex is warm and mixed well .
Good luck .

Denatured alcohol. That will not hurt the paint? Do you put a coat of clear over the paint and then scuff with a scotchbrite pad or just scuff the paint and then clean with den. alcohol. I think am contaminating the plug. Thanks Paul

epoxy will avoid the smallest dust particle for some reason .. Ya would think it would just incase it .. Eating fried chicken for dinner then handling your plugs a definate no no ..

show us one that peeled. or whatever problem your having.

ether your waiting too long to topcoat.
not scuff sanding in between coats.
mixing incompatable paints.
dirty hands.{that will cause fisheyes mostly.
some rattle cans have fish eye iliminator in them and nothing will stick on top of them.
enamel will stay soft, so when you put tha hard epoxy over it it will do some wierd stuff.

you gotta make sure it all "melts" together into one coat. not just one coat on top of another.
