streatsboy Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 Think you may have sprayed to dry? I've noticed when I use a rattle can it sometimes will turn out flatter than it should unless your layin it down thick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dylan06SS Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 Rattle can is always going to be slightly less glossy than factory paint... spray the clear on extra thick, do multiple coats, then wet sand and buff it out if you want it to shine.

CTSSS Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 I would think to paint that right, it would take more than a can but maybe not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
