I have been working on my baby for 3 weeks. I laid down some clean metal primer after sanding. First 4 coats of color were 50/50 paint mineral spirits. The next 4 coats have been using a mix of hardener, reducer, mineral spirits and paint.

After the last coat my finish isnt as glossy as it was for some reason. What am I doing wrong? I sanded with 1500 before this coat, do I just have too much orange peel? Im scared to sand too much because even after 9 coats of paint and primer I can still see though some spots. Any ideas?
