AThis happens while I'm painting on MMF. The fondant almost acts like I'm painting on a paper towel.....

ADo you let the MMF completely dry/harden before you paint?
Craftsy is offering a free class on painting a cake. You may want to take advantage of it.

AGoreti, thank you for the heads up and the link!
It sounds like it could be your paint. What are you using? Like lolarx8 suggested, food coloring gels + alcohol work well. Sometimes I paint with airbrush colors (w/o the airbrush, you know?) straight from the container. You want a color agent plus something that evaporates quickly like clear alcohol (e.g. vodka, Everclear).
