And the surface on some parts is just too smooth, a little sanding on large open spaces can improve the surface for paint adhesion.

If the paint's pooling, they're probably not clean enough. Try again with a stronger cleanser.
Also, like pretre said... Primer. If you're not priming them, you're wasting your time.

I use pine-sol, soak for a few minutes toothbrush abit, run under water.(not hot water) never had a problem. FW likes to soak their molds in mold release. that's why the get bubbles in their casts.

Prime them with a real primer like Tamiya or Mr Hobby after soaking them in a grease removal product (dish soap works pretty well in warm water).
those primer leave a fine texture over the models which can be sanded if needed but also help greatly for the paint to adhere properly to the model. Mr Hobby 1200 Surface Primer is probably the best of all. this one is also available in pot for airbrushing.
