Paint Q?

[MarkII]

he said it was painted in 2k lad no lacquer involved.
if it won't shine scuff it and an other finish coat should shine it up nicely.
if it didn't shine after more paint the paint is not good and you'd need fresh paint.
there's one other thing , once i came across some 2k in orange and yellow and the stuff wouldn't shine at all no matter what (something not right in the paint) a clear coat of lacquer will sort it (was a full respray) in your case it might not match the rest of the car.

It will polish up wet sand it 1500 then go over it with 2000 you ll need a buffer set it around 2500 that g3 stuff isn't great IMO better with 3m compound used a hard pad and a hard compound then go over it with a soft pad and a finish compound and you ll get a really nice shine .

The cold has nothing to do with the lack of a shine by the way it was probably just put on to dry

at -10 to -16 with out right heat it would fade, i'v been painting 12 year lad. by adding the thinners to last coat it reduces that dry coat effect and gives a nice wet looking shine.
every paint will f up if used below a certain temp. dampness infects the top layer resulting in dull finish.
