should'nt be going over 10% thinners 5% fine,the more thinner you add the more it speeds up the evaparation time which results in the paint dulling off,other factors for dulling off are

1 to fast a hardner
2 to higher a pressure on gun
3 spraying in cold
4 to much heat while spraying
5 soaking into primer
6 not allowing paint to flash of between coats
7 incorrect fan setting on gun
8 gun been held to far back from car
9 poor air movement
10 to high of grade sanding used on primer
11 to much material on car
12 use of aeorsal primer

i could go on and on and into detail but dont want to bore pants of you

hehe funny you say that last night we were discussing it..

I think chances are

Spraying in cold
to much material on the car, and for some reason my gun was playing up and wouldnt give me a wide spray pattern..

Next time hey :P

thanks though i take all advice in

13 you are no good at spraying - don't give up the day job.

indeed there is that.. although it comes up quite well with a very quick flat/polish, the geezer at bodyshop used a bit of paint to do a panel this morning and has had the same problem, he seems to think its just down to the paint being cheap jawel spec bull crap, i guess you buy cheap you get cheap.. In future ill stick to standox, had no issues spraying with that stuff

you can see in this pic, i grave the corner of the roof and rear 1/4 a very quick buff and it came up ok

Had a busy one today, repainted the grill to freshen it up

also flatted dwn most the car and polished.. still need to do passenger door, boot and rear bumper.

Also fitted my wind deflectors

Looks like its polishing up well mate

ive finally finished flatting the full car, and then gave it its first clean today ... I have also done the grill just just waiting on 2 clips before i fit it .







Little update, i finally cracked out the tigerseal and began putting the missing bits on.
