SikWill, below is the dude they came from, he was very responsive. He didnt have anything for Lithium Grey available, but he custom painted a set for me and had em to me within a week.

Curious as to the temperature it was when you did the job over the weekend.

That's more than likely what the issue was/is, i am here in Texas, but it was only about 40 degrees in the morning when i started, and probably about 50 degrees or so when "complete"

Step 1: get yourself a bucket of HOT water and submerge all the cans and weigh them down so they stay under.
Step 2: heat the surface. I like to use a heat gun to warm the surface before the first coat... not so much for the following coats i'm always afraid to melt the dip lol.
You'll notice the cans, when heated by the hot water bath, spray a lot more like a conventional spray paint and much less like sputtering baby.
Make sure your first coat is nothing more than a dusting, as well as the second coat. in the cold i usually end up doing a third the same way and then coming in with a medium fourth coat and a wet fifth coat. Usually does the trick. More coats means it comes off easier when it's time to peel as well.
Let me know how it goes!
(this thread made me buy emblem stickers... cheaper and dont feel like replacing the ovals yet lol.
