not trying to troll you, just wondering whats different than what you had previously?

Well I just painted them like 2 weeks ago, but when I did that the paint didn't go on smoothly because of the high temps/humidity that day. There was a lot of orange peel and the surface felt very rough. I wet sanded them and then re coated them with clear to give it a much smoother finish. Gave them a much nicer wet gloss look as well.

A couple months ago I had plasti dip on them, but this is actual paint.

The horrors of paint, you gotta love it... correcting orange peel & fish eye... a total pain in the azz. Any painter will tell ya!
