I did my bonnet's upper surface in Hamerite Satin Black about two years ago. It's started to fade.

Is it the paint or is it me?

It does do that sometimes. I noticed a slight "mist" on my railings after about 2 years.

Cheers. Is there a solution without repainting?

all satin and matt paints fade and wear.the less gloss a paint has the less durable it is.
