Deft is nitro lacquer, so it will melt in to the underlying coats. So if you’ve brushed/sprayed a gloss coat, you can follow that up with a semi-gloss coat, and it’ll melt into the previous gloss layer. Boom, you’ve now got a semi-gloss coat, no sanding.

In fact, most instructions say to spray your initial coats gloss then move to semi-gloss as your final coat.
