painting question... im painting my rear panel black,sanding went well, primer went well..all went well..now im applying coats of glossy black...
looks to me though that its not coming out with the nice "mirror/reflective" finish that stock automotive paint has, its actually kinda blurry...
i am using Dupli Color rattle cans by the way, is that the problem...im applying VERY thin coats and being patient..not hurrying.....
is there anyway BEFORE i clear coat it to get it more glossy, or more like a mirror finish..like it would look from the factory...any help would be FANTASTIC
