I would use some rustolium high heat, regular matte barbecue paint

Yeah, I was wondering if the semi-gloss was not creating an even finish?

How would you prep the surface for regular matte?

 

[Cody Bratton]

Did you sand or scuff it at all?

no I did not - just tried the wax/grease remover for a first pass.

now I'm back to the drawing board...need to figure out best technique for sand/scuff and repaint.

I've never seen this happen like that. Sanding or anything would not have prevented it. Looks almost like something is contaminating the surface and bleeding through

It’s really hard to tell with pictures what’s going on.

Just let it dry for a day and do another coat.

I mean. Maybe the surface was bad when I put the first coat on?

I can scuff or sand it and just go with the matte paint.

Was going to try to post a video. But not sure how to.

I took some 0000 wool to it, then wiped it down with the cleaner.





Should I scuff it more? Then try a fresh coat?

I do not know what I did wrong but it feels like it needs to be re-done.

I will also say, when I’m wiping it down, paint is coming off, is that to be expected?

I would say that's normal, the paint isn't fully dry yet. Now I would wait 24 hours and then give it another coat. It will look a lot better then.

Maybe a little heavier, overlapping strokes when you spray it on?

 

[Cody Bratton]

scuff as much of the shine off as possible. The residue coming off is very normal. Give it 24-36 hours post scuffing to hopefully allow any of the trapped solvent out. Scuff it up again, clean and spray. Keep the can about a foot away from the surface and fog on a dusting coat. Give it 10 minutes and fog on another coat.

Steel wool? Fine sandpaper (220?)

I almost think unless you can totally strip it at this point you're gonna need to hit it with some kind of sealer prior to hitting it with another finish coat. I think at this point all this fussing over trying to salvage this is just going deeper into a hole
