After more research I found that "back in the day" the acrylic enamel SS metallics were intended as spray and out the door paints. Their selling point was they did not need buffing or polishing after application because they had a decent surface shine. So obviously they had to be applied perfectly from the get go. I'm guessing they were never intended for the level of gloss and smoothness most people expect from paint today.
