paint question

Any rattle can restoration experts here? Why would flat black spray paint go shiny in spots? Am I just applying it too thick?

It could be too thick and has no choice but to be glossy
It could be too thin other places and the shiny spots more eggshell appearance is the actual intended outcome
It could be the prep. In my case it's almost always the prep.

The object in this case is the grill of my '83 F-150. How do I fix it?
