Default Flat spots/dull paint

Hi there folks

I have done a bit of spraying today and some of it has come out shiny and looks good, but some has come out dull and crap looking lol

Anyway, is there a way to get the dull bits shiny without having to go and buy more paint to spray over it?

And the room was reasonably warm, but I fear not quite warm enough thus why the dull bits

Sounds like you have a bit of "Blooming" .
Will be able to polish it up with g3 and fine cut paste though .....

Even a little 1500 wet and dry to get the worst of it out,just be gentle.
