I am painting a front grill which is a real pain since the base coat had to be applied from so many angles to get full coverage. Now I applying the clearcoat over the black base coat. Each time a spray the clear coat there is some over spray on the part after it dry the overspray turns to dust. |

What are you using to spray with? If you are using a spray can, it sounds like it's too hot and the clear is drying before it has a chance to adhere properly. |

I am using a spray can. I tried reduce the temp to below 70 and now it seams to be working better. At least there is no more dust. The clear cost go on with glossy spots and dull areas. Is this normal? I sanded the glossy area down a little with 1200 and then resprayed, but they keeps coming back. |

The clearcoat will not shine without rubbing compound as it will just dry flat. Use a medium grade rubbing compound and the clearcoat will shine right up. |
