I've had three cans in a row that have been quite shiny. I’ve had the same problem recently with Dullcote. I’ve had three cans in a row that have been quite shiny.

This is why I still use Testor's dullcote spray, even though i realize it can suffer yellowing from UV exposure.

While I haven't had any cases so far, since a couple of years I use it quite a lot & might have to reconsider.

With both I have been able to apply an additional coat and it went away. I guess I have been fortunate. I live in a place that is rather humid so it just seems like it is a matter of time before it happens. Anyhow I have switched to using krylon acrylic followed by krylon matte sealer. I have only had the clouding happen once. Plus I find krylon products to have better consistency from can to can.

I don't like a very shiny affect and will use a brush on gloss sealer only on the parts I might want shiny since they will be a small area and won't take long. A trick to warming up cans of spray, sealer or primer, is to run them under warm, not too hot, water to get them up to room temperature quicker or let them sit in the water for a little while and dry off can thoroughly to avoid rust.
