Has anyone had isues useing the Solar Flat Black before? Did we screw up on the second coat?
solar flat black is noticibly more tempermental to apply than, say, super wet black when using a less expensive gun. double coating compounds this problem a lot. as far as it turning to semigloss, i haven't experienced that. were the lines clean? i've got to believe some kind of contamination is causing this. ...either from the gun, or on the part.
