i tryed painting the door lock surrounds on the doors panels i cleaned them good with alcohol till the rags come off clean then painted them with duplicolor fabric and vinyl paint the paint ran like a mofo and now my surrounds are now red and speckled and runny what did i **** up on
 
I'm assuming these had the plastic chrome stuff on them? I painted mine but sanded all of that off down to bare plastic and the paint adhered fine.
 
wont stick without primer, need something for it to stick too, try using a brush and use small bits of paint at a time
 
Temperature does weird things to paint too.
 
Prep is everything. Like stated above! Scuff it up with some scotchbrite pads, prime it in a few light coats, then paint it in a few light coats. Follow the manufacturers recoat times on the back of the can...some have to be recoated within an hour or after 24 hours of priming. And yes, temp does make a difference, usually extreme cold will eff it up! Pics would make it easier to judge where you went wrong though.
 
some adhesion promote after you scuff em up may help as well.
 
Shake the hell out of your paint first too and spray it in the air or on a test board till you get good color.
 
well got it fixed the day after first post i didnt scuff it first got it fixed now thanks for the replys
