All the advice is good on but salty dog hit the nail on the head, I use rustoleum paint all the time . It's not a matter of moisture it's a matter of trying to rush it between coats, the paint has to dry from the inside out after every coat and it can take longer than you might think. I give my paints 1 day dry time between coats. Also what are you clear coating with? Are you sure it's compatable? After you sand
(220 max) the plug try wiping it down with paint thinner and let the plug dry for about 10 minutes then clear coat and you should be all set. I have 2 air brushes and basically use the rattlecans for 90% of my plugs so I know you're pain ... been there - done that.

Good luck

Insanity is a long and winding road ... I think I finally made it there.
