I noticed that the smoothness was somehow lessened after the quick wash. The same is true after the second coat. This is comparing before and after the quick wash. Although the paint is still smooth, I am just puzzled why the smoothness lessened after being exposed to water provided I let it sit for around 17 hours to cure. I suspect that the kaio plus ksg washed off but I am not 100% sure. Should the cure time be longer than that before exposing it to the elements like water? Also I would like to know what is the best technique in-between coats to have a refreshed clean surface before the next layer. Hope anyone would be able to share his/her experience and insights.
