Too much hardener will do this too. I bought a matte clear and went over my muzzleloader that I sprayed in their French Army pattern with the SL version of their paints and dulled it right back where I wanted it. The SL is supposed to be more durable and self lubricating and not burnish as bad, but it does have more sheen than the original. I use the tactical colors when possible for flatter finishes now.
