Satin finish
How do you keep a satin finish to appear satin instead of glossy? After level sanding and spraying the final top coats do you wet sand or do you use steel wool? Or neither?
Thanks

Re: Satin finish
So after you spray several coats you use steel wool to level. Then shoot a couple more coats and just let it cure out?

Re: Satin finish
If you are using satin you don't do anything. there is an additive to this that makes it satin. All I do is add 10% thinner when it shines up from use I may cut it back with 0000 steel wool
