I figured out it was from going over the same spot more than the rest of the panel and hence getting more gloss on it... at $100. It will buy you a few years and what's to lose?  |
My experience as well. I found a lot of variation in sheen with heavier coats and multiple coats. I painted mine a piece at a time and discovered the subtle variations when I started bolting things together. I think the scuff pad would be a way to even things out however primer is different, even epoxy. Sun does the most damage and that chalky hazing is difficult to remove but I have buffed it out of epoxy paint with compound. It was a motorcycle tank and it was a pain and obviously the flat look became satin-semi gloss.
