painting gloss colors

Is it not glossy straight away or does it appear to go on glossy and dry with a dull haze on it?

If it's the latter then it could well be caused by the cold conditions causing it to "blush". Blushing is usually caused by condensation of moisture (water) on the surface before the paint is fully dry.

i will try spraying at a closer distance and see what i come up with...

It would help to know what brand of paint you're using.

There can be many reasons for this:

• If you are spraying from too great a distance, the paint may be partially drying between the airbrush and the surface, causing "pebbling"
• Too high an air pressure can also cause the above
• Too high an ambient temperature when painting can cause the above
• If using acrylics, some alternative thinners can cause this. For example, when using Tamiya acrylics, though it works fine for flat paints, ethyl or denatured alcohol can take the edge off the gloss, whereas the proprietary thinner and isopropyl alcohol work fine.

 

maybe i should elaborate more...i was looking at what i just sprayed and some parts came out glossy...it always seems patchy...the color is gloss black...

is it a case of just more coats?...if my camera charger hadnt died i would post some pic's...
