Another good tutorial:

I like the tamiya one though, it gave technical reasons for various things which made it all a lot easier to understand. I now know what mistakes I was making! I was doing millions of 'mist' layers. So the paint had lost a lot of thinner on its way to the car. Therefore it could not level out. I should have brought the can closer and increased the speed of the 'stroke'! I understand now!! Cheers for all this.
Have a look at some of the work that the bloke above has done
