I wet sanded and I lost a lot of my gloss. I guess I should just reshoot it, correct? I've got a little bit more experience now. So this might not happen again. The last time around, I think I put too thin of a coat on the fender.
Wet sanding will of course dull the finish. Once the area thats being wet sanded is uniformly dull, buff it out with a buffer and polishing compound like I said above.
It should look good after you buff it out. Had the same sort of problem with a car of mine once. After wet sanding, and buffing, it looked 100% better!
i shoot a lot of acrylic enamel and if you decide to re-shoot it. when you get to your final coat and have a little paint left in the gun, mix in about a quarter of your guns cup full of thinner and spray a light even coat over the entire thing. the paint will lay down with almost no peel at all but don't do it to soon after your last coat or it will run like crazy.
