Am painting the outside of 4 steel wheels. Prepped the original surface and primed with Rustoleum Painters Touch Ultra Cover flat gray primer. Prime coat was smooth.

Top coat was Eastwood Rally Wheel Argent Silver aerosol. Painted in the garage. Temp was 67 deg F. Paint cans room temp and shook them for several minutes. Eastwood says several light coats from 8-10". That's what I did.

First 3 light coats looked good. Switched to 2nd can to finish up and two more light coats left a finish as rough as 60 grit sandpaper.

This Eastwood aerosol paint has the old 1/4" valve button and is hard to push. Arthritis was bugging me so I think I was not pushing the button down all the way for the last couple of coats.

Questions:

--Can only pushing the button in part way cause "dry spray"?

--What else might cause this?

--Make sense to wet sand and start over?

Thanks
