It aint supposed to look like a respray mate
Its a waterproof lining.
In a few weeks it won't bother you.

How long did you leave it to dry between coats.

I put mine down at 1 hr intervals, 3 coats, I'm not sure your supposed to let it fully dry before the 2nd coat, I could well be wrong though  ???

I think you are supposed to put the second coat on when the 1st coat has lost the tackyness about 4hrs if I remeber right. Dont put anything heavy on it for 48 hrs after the 2nd coat.

I did mine about about 5 weeks ago and still feel very happy after being out in the van all day 8)
