Now that is a good question. When I spray, all sorts of "stuff", including the odd mosquito, winds up in the finish. Wet sanding, polishing, and buffing is ALWAYS required. I can do this easily with DEFT. Not so easily with KRYLON. Not saying that it can't be done with KRYLON, but it hasn't worked for me. (Haven't tried real hard either.)

DEFT = nitrocellulose lacquer <--dries good and hard by evaporation
KRYLON = acryllic enamel <---dries by evaporation and oxidation

or so I think
