My first restoration, I purchased delstar automotive paint 2150 for my super H. I mixed the product with hardener as recomended by the manufacture. The sheet metal shines like glass but the cast iron body is not as glossy as I expected. Is this normal or am I being to picky?
all parts of the tractor were previously stripped and primered.

One other possibility is the difficulty of painting all the irregular surfaces of cast. It is easy to "double coat" or make a partial pass on an ares you just painted. When you do this, you are painting over a previous coat that has not yet "flashed". This can cause dieback, or dulling of the surface. I am often tempted to make a second pass on something I did not get quite covered -- not a good idea.

It is likely not as reflective as the sheet metal because the cast iron surfaces are not near as smooth as the sheet metal surfaces. The irregularity of the cast iron suface breaks up the light reflection.
