I did not finish my Dawn of the Dead MOM build because of a bad case of the evil fisheyes. The car is a promo Geo Storm cast in yellow plastic. I thoroughly washed it in Dawn dish soap and tried to spray it with black Rustroleum enamel. The results was a bad case of fisheye. I threw it into the pond. The offending paint came off very well. Yesterday I tried again. First I wiped it all down with 91% rubbing alcohol. I then tried to mist on a coat of the same paint.
I got the same results. What am I doing wrong? What do I need to do to prevent this?

I never have good luck with Rustolyum Gloss Black . I would suggest primer , red oxide first before the black and maybe switch to a different brand of black ! I get great results from the Walmart brand black and it’s only 99 for a big can

I noticed on a few models that some just don't want to be painted a certain color. Testor's had a pearl line of paints about 15 years ago and I tried to do a pearl black Bronco and a buddy tried to same model in pearl green. Neither turned out well. I agree with GB about the primer. That could help add a barrier between the black and the plastic that the paint will adhere to. I would offer some more autobody advice but I have found that sometimes painting 1/24 scale is different than painting 1/1 scale.
