No roof of miss itchy's lupo (bad paint job in past lacquer was all peeling off), thought it would be easier in satin black (cars red) than trying to get a gloss finish but didnt go so well

Re: black satin paint
Warm the paint up first, stand the can in a bowl of hot water.
Why would the glass be anything other than half full?

Re: black satin paint
It was a hot day and windy which probably didnt help, left cans in the sun so they were quite warm
anyway its done now so hoping i can even it up with water and fine paper but going to leave it a week or so to set before going further
