Pantherman said:

It's OK, not very smooth. More of an orange peel effect so i rubbed it down and will try another coat. Pantherman

I'm curious how you'll like it. Are you also gonna clear coat it?

I will see how it lays on the second coat. It's probably my fault as I don't usually use spray cans. I plan to top it off with a couple of coats of this varnish to get a super gloss finish. Pantherman

So here are the results of several thin coats of the gloss with a very fine wet sanding in between coats. No ideal where the lumps came from as it was as smooth as a baby's ar.e before the final coat? Pantherman

How and where did you let it dry?
I'm guessing the paint didn't do you any favors.
