Hello, 1st post.

I'm trying to make a pattern as per the airbox video. The pattern coat primer went ok but the gloss coat leaves deep brush marks where I start and end brushing.
I can see if I had a simple flat shape I could make full length strokes that this wouldn't be a problem. But this is fairly complex and requires brush strokes from the centre out.

So are there any tips other than spraying to get a smoother gloss coat finish.


Cheers
Richard

Try and carry the brush straight off the edge of the pattern rather than lifting it if possible.  You could use a flat edged piece of plastic to skim over the Hi-Gloss to smooth out any strokes.
