<DIV>Temperature, humidity, and the type of reducer may be your problem. Hammer effect sounds to me like something is wrong with the paint. Make sure all the products are same brand name and same type. Check the viscosity of the paint (drip test).</DIV>

still no good, as soon as I start laying it on heavy enough to flow out I get the Hammertone effect. The key may be the wet coat to flow out, and then mist it to get the color consistant at just the right time so that the mist can flow out

However, the only way I could get the metallic to keep from blotching out was to lay it on ever so lightly, in many fine mist coats, and the result was a VERY dusty finish.
