Yep.
Ive realigned the window but it still had the same problem.
Its had a smash on that door, i had to do a dodgy repair to align the motor straight again. You'll see if you take the door card off.

Re: Spraying alloys black...
Yep watch the MCM episode as mentioned ^
Also, did you use several light coats of paint or just one/two big coats? Best to do it on a hot/non humid day if possible, too.
Did you strip the original base first/sand it properly?
