How come my Rat Rod Black dries like a semi-gloss instead of a satin?
This is a high-build product that is designed to give complete coverage and a full film thickness in two coats. Additional coats, or excessively wet coats will lead to a higher gloss in the finish. If results are still too glossy, try shooting one light “tack” coat, followed by a medium wet coat. Additionally, you may try to shoot this satin paint “on the dry side” with adjustments to air pressure and fluid control at the gun. It’s important to make sure this material is properly mixed prior to use. Because flatting agents tend to settle out of suspension over time, Eastwood suggests placing the can on a shaker for a few minutes before opening, then mix thoroughly with a stir stick, taking care to pull up material from the bottom of the can and mix it back into solution.
