Sorry, but I have a few questions first before I might be able to suggest any answers. Did you use a ground layer and/or imprimitura? It looks as though you did, but I would like to know for sure. If so, what kind of paint did you use for the ground (the best is lead white but titanium would do) and how long did it cure before you began your underpainting. Also, what sort of metal are you using?
