Looks like a good start Surly! Are you using a rattle can? If so, be sure to carefully follow the can's directions. People (me included) have a tendency to not want to wait long enough for the last coat to dry before applying the next coat. This results in "alligatoring" and "lifting" of the new coat because the previous coat hasn't finished drying yet. But if you are using a spray gun then never mind what I just said. Professional auto paints have better drying control for different ambient temperatures.
