I am painting my father's tractor for him (it desperately needs it), and am having problems with the basecoat's finish on the rear piece. I am using rustoleum gloss oil based enamel thinned with mineral spirits. The hood piece has come out great, very glossy and smooth. The rear fender piece has a flat, rough look/feel to it. I'm not sure what I am doing wrong as i have painted the two pieces identically. My only idea is that some overspray hit the rear piece and is acting like a dusting coat that is taking away from the gloss?
