Drip and Run Prevention? TIP

I usually go heavier on the last spray coat to make the finish glossy.
With the paint sprayed heavier there is a chance of drips.

TIP: After spraying slowly turn the model horizontally like a rotisserie.
Turn for a minute until the paint start to "skin" over.
My left hand is in a plastic shopping bag to keep the paint off my hand.

Some paints will set up faster than others.
The Testors enamels dry pretty quickly. Rustoleum 2X paints dry fairly quickly. Aluminum spray paint drys fast.
Using this slow turn method I never get paint runs.
