  dont be a goon n spray upside down.
  
  the can has a tube similar to a straw. if u go upside down n u hit n air bubble. the paint will splutter onto yr item n create a huge mess.
  
  if u think the sprayed surface is not smooth. try going closer, take slower strokes and allow the paint to be thicker per coat.
