Why did my clear coat turn out matte instead of glossy?
Because I didn’t color sand before clear. The likely cause is that the paint was applied too thin per coat or the nozzle was too far away. A coat thick enough to get a glossy sheen is seen but not too thick that runs develop is the proper technique.
What do you need to know about your cat’s coat?
When your cat’s coat changes in appearance from being shiny to having a dull/matte finish, or it becomes oily and clumpy, or he’s suddenly losing hair—these are signs that something’s not right with your kitty. These are signs of upper respiratory or bronchial infection and can quickly become serious.
Do you color sand before or after clear coat?
And you need to color sand the BASE coat. This surface should be perfectly flat before clear to provide the “shine” to the clear coat. The clear coat will amplify whatever condition the base coat is, so if it’s matt to start with it won’t improve much.
What to do with small scratches in clear coat finish?
Toothpaste Won’t Fix Everything. The deeper the scratch, the harder is is to remove. If your scratch penetrates through the clear coat, toothpaste might help to lessen the appearance of the scratch by polishing the clear coat around it. Depending upon the clear coat, it might ‘melt’ slightly to fill the scratch.

Do you need a smooth clear coat before painting a mirror?
This needs to be perfectly smooth before clear, even if it appears dull. The quality of a mirror, for instance, is not as dependent on the glass as much as the overall flatness of the silvering reflective coating or layer.
