I gave up on the aquanamel paint and moved to a oil based gloss enamel. However, regardless of the application method (roller, roller and brush, paint gun) the paint has little bubbles form. Most pop as it dries, but some don't and being gloss and black, grey are ultra visible. I've tried thick coats, barely there coats abd cant get it to dry smooth. The best so far has been rolling, then laying off with a brush which pops these bubbles....but I walk away and more bubbles form. What is going on here?
