Satin Black! What am I doing wrong?

(1/3) > >>

Deano400:
Hi All,
I have sprayed my calipers with PJ1 Satin Black. They have come out as matt as can be, look great but not the satin finish I was after. Any ideas as to what I am doing wrong?

Deano400:
Yes, definitely says Satin on the tin.

Nurse Julie:
PJ1 does come out more of a matt finish although it says Satin on the tin. This is what we use and this is the result. [ Guests cannot view attachments ]

Thanks Julie. I'll try again with a different coating thickness. If it doesn't work then it looks like I'll have to put my hand in my pocket again and buy some VHT.

Laverda Dave:
Deanno, that's the same paint I used on my CB250RSA caliper and it definitely came out with a satin finish.
The paint was very thick in the bottom of the can and it took a lot of shaking just to release the ball bearings in the paint! I shook the can for a good five minutes before the initial spray and for a couple of minutes for subsequent sprays.
Did you cure it in the oven at 100c after spraying?
