You're right and it was the same for me. From a distance you could see the reflection of other stuff in the garage even with the orange peel texture. I just had an expectation and I didn't want to compromise. I may have lost a few days, but I think it's worthwhile in the long haul.OneWayTraffic wrote: ↑Sun May 23, 2021 3:22 pm I had similar issues with the POR15 primer I used on my C17. I haven't sanded it yet, but will when the weather warms up a bit. (It's late Autumn here).
For the record though I don't think anyone but you would ever notice a small amount of texture. Even mine, which is a substandard finish at present seems smooth and fair as soon as I step back for a photo.
On the inside I consider texture to be a feature, not a bug. Don't want sun glare on the eyes.
That is a good point on the deck side, I probably should have gotten the semi-gloss white vs regular white, but I will be applying anti-skid texture to a large portion of the deck so I think that will knock the majority of the glare down. I know Pettit mentions a flattening agent you can add in their data sheets, but I can't seem to find anyone selling it anymore.
