you should have sanded it intially to knock off the shine off...when you're ready to spray start off with a light coat on the truck but spray heavier around the edges...also make sure the body is free from any oils/chemicals, give it a good cleaning with some degreaser or dishwasher detergent. priming it helps too.

I'm painting it with a brush.
So I sand paper the edges and restart painting?

NEVER paint an Xmod with a brush. Sand it down and get some spray paint.
