well biked has a good write up there. Look closely at the type of paint you are using (not brand, but type) and at the drying / curing times of that type of paint. Beyond preperation, taking your time and not rushing through multiple coats too quickly. I took a LOT of time painting my Barracuda Mk.I and due to that it came out pretty well. I believe searching has been turned back on for the forums, and there are a good number of painting threads with many other good tips, hints and information.
