Exactly what I do and Ive also had no problems.

Ive found Tamiya paint is the best rattle can paint on tha market for finish, ease and durability. Pactra is good too but I dont rate Fast Colour.

Like DCM says its all in the application. Nice light coats and patience. If its put on right its hard to scratch off let alone peel off.
