Default help my sanity-- spray paint troubles

Balderdash and poppycock. When I refinished the headlight buckets for my
Roadster, I sandblasted them, applied 2 coats of Rustoleum red primer,
then 2 coats of Rustoleum Copper Enamel. Once *dry*, the finish is
beautiful, and plenty hard. I test the finish as I type: Dragging the
thumbnail at right angles across the finish as hard as practical, the
finish is absolutely unmarked. I agree, however, Rustoleum is not as
hard as a good cured epoxy or urethane.
