    Im messing with an old motorbike, tidying it up a bit. Anyway, pulled it all apart, sanding, filler, primer, rubdown & paint. Now I did one side of the bike and the handlebars, turned out unbelievably well. I thought I would have to put a clearcoat over it to finish it but the paint is perfect and very shiny. I then went to do the other side of the bike the next day. Same preparation etc and Im finding the paint is just dulling as it dries. What causes this? The weather was wet when this dulling occured. Would too much moisture in the air cause it? A bit more windy too although obviously indoors but any ideas?

    Room dry but external moist air would be moving through it. Alittle draughty I guess
