Seems any "flake" powder will do that sometimes. The larger the flake, the more prominent the roughness. It seems to be, the powder is not "mixed" thoroughly. Some have recomended loading the powder in your gun and shaking it vigorously before shooting. It's also been said that larger flakes tend to stand on edge with a heavy static charge causing the roughness. I'm not sure either one of these is the real problem you're having but one of them could be I suppose.

Sounds like a nice coat if it works out.

Good luck
