I'm using a spray gun/cup HVLP system to spray a glossy acrylic pain on
wood, and for some reason the finish refuses to gloss. When spread with
a brush, it looks great, although with brush marks. Has anyone seen
this problem before? I'm about to apply a water-based urethane to try
to get the shiny finish if necessary.


Having read all of the other replies, I'll throw in the basic question - are
you mixing according to the manufacturer's spec? No cheating. Too much
reducer will cause finishes to lay down.
