The tanks plastic, as is the fairing. It's an RS50, not a proper bike. I painted my old RS50 and it came out absolutely fine on the nose cone. I assume it has something to do with the paint itself to be honest. Is it cheap quality? Also make sure the front nose cone is fully rubbed down and the surface is clean before painting.
