Re: Paint troubles

First, check to see if you paint is a base coat which is to be used along with a gloss clear, or clearcoat. Look for a "CC" next to the name of the paint.

If you see the "CC" then the paint you are using is suppose to go on flat. It dries quickly, but requires a clear gloss to be applied onto it to bring out a true shine.

Sometimes, under certain conditions a basecoat paint can go on glossy, particularly if it goes on heavy.

Typically these paints don't need to be pre-heated.

Tell us more about your problem. Are airbrushing or spray-canning? What brand are you using? etc....
