Gear. Acquisition. Syndrome: an affliction caused by the desire to get some new piece of equipment. On this forum, I like to characterize is as, "More gear than I need but not as much as I want."

Correct way: Fill old screw hole with a glued-in hardwood dowel, and re-drill. Field-Expedient way: Break off a few toothpicks in the hole and run the new screw in there.

The rolled-on car paint technique involves thinning Rust-O-Leum until it is the consistency of milk, then rolling on in many thin layers. Once you've rolled 4-5 layers, letting it dry completely between layers, you wet-sand out the orange peel. Then do it all again 5 or 10 times.
