Default Dead Flat Clear

Need some help..

I sprayed some Perfect Dead flat clear on a glossy paint job and it is definitely not a dead flat look now..Satin at best.

Should I shoot another coat of flat to get that Dead flat look I need?

Cajet:

You don't want the flat paint to go on in heavy wet coat. Try just
using a light even dusting coat. It may take two light coats to
cover any satin splotches.
