Paul I had the same problem with Rust-o-leum on a Twister but there was no finish underneath it. I followed Alan Brickhaus' directions, and per Al Rabe I made sure the can was warm. It went on beautifully, but came off in sheets when I removed the masking tape the trim. My AMA number on the Ultracote stayed on and looked great, but the fuse was a trial in patience. It has been 6 months and it is now very stable and looks good, but I've never flown it or put trim on it. Sorry I don't have an answer, but hope it helps that "I feel your pain!"
