I used to make that mistake, then I realized that I should hold it far away from the nozzle. The way I do it now is either lay it flat or suspend it, against a newspaper background to catch stray paint, then spray in short bursts (2 to 3 seconds or so) from about half a meter away, adjusting as required. Then, I flip it over and do the other side. That way, the paint will be really fine by the time it reaches the target, and won't lump up or form drops.

I want to try brushing the paint on next time.
I'll try some basic paints like Nic said.
Hmm was it you that time who said he was buying an atomizer for spraypainting? How's it?
Hahaha I really really hate enamel. I have very bad memories of using it (and trying to get stains off surfaces). It made my paintbrush hard enough to chip concrete.
Good luck with the paint! I think, generally, paint that goes well on walls gives a nice texture to spraypainted objects.
