Default Canned Spray painting Help

I just bought 3 tamiya canned air spray today. Using green, I practice painting the plastic container (chinese soup containers) and noticed that air bubbles formed on its sides. What seems to be the reason for this? How can I avoid this? Is there suppose to be a "style" in painting using aircans? thnx

Sounds like a reaction from the plastic been a polycarbonate rather than Lexan, unless you piled the paint on too thick? As for method... Nice light powder coats with a little help from a hair dryer if you are the inpatient type!

It sounds like you have a dirty soup container,Try wash it soap and water,when scuff it with a scott brite pad.I wipe my bodies with Achohol to remove all oils. When using rattle cans I put them in a bowl on warm water to warm up paint [not boiling just warm from the tap] then spray away.I have seen some great rattle can paint jobs.Keep trying you will get better.
