Default Satin Berger Panel question

It's been drying for almost 24 hours now but it still looks a bit splochy. I did 4 pretty light coats on it and it looks good from a distance but up close there are patches of rougher areas and smoother areas (where I guess there is more satin paint there). If I continue to let it dry will it go away, or should I do a heavier coat on it to see if that fixes it? I'd like to get this finished up soon.

I wouldn't throw another heavy coat on as it'll make it worse. I'd wetsand with 800 or 1000 to smooth out the spots then do another medium coat on it and it should be good to go. Adding a heavy coat of paint never fixes anything, it just makes it worse.

What he said..but after your sure its dry...sound like you got a bit heavy on the paint...I used a rattle can and kept he nozzle at least 12 inches away..most times 18..just letting the paint to mist onto teh panel..it came out great..and the up side is that each application dries really quick cuz its so thin

Alright, guess I'll do that. I think what happened was the wind was blowing a bit off and on and caught me off guard a couple times, getting more paint on some spots than others. I'll wet sand again and give another light coat.
