did you give the pot a REALLY good mix before applying it? Is it gloss?

Also - quick tip if its still drying, place a mixing bowl over the model or dust will settle on it, and then dry into the paint!

i could depened on the temperature/humity of your room...a difference of 1-2 degrees can make hours of difference in paint drying
