Sometimes all it takes is the right technique.

(also CIMs are Gloss black paint, just not as glossy as that render, and the end caps are tumble finish)

We ran into the same issue with the first rev of our 2013 bellypan and had a much better time after "leapfrogging" on the comp bot version as you described.
