Default Smooth, glossy paint surface

I've painted some ceiling fan blades, after roughing and priming them,
with Benjamin Moore glossy latex enamel for metal. I dunno, somehow I
had the impression, that the point was to create a smooth, shiny
surface. Well, this paint doesn't seem to be self-leveling: the
brushstrokes are immortalized in the surface. Can this paint be
polished? Or should I be using something else?


My suggestion is to sand it down to smooth finish. Use a find grade
sand paper. Next buy a couple cans of AUTOMOTIVE paint and primer. Use as
directed. You may need to practice a little. If you sand through the
"plastic" paint down to the plastic, use a little more of the plastic paint.
