It just means to spray the last coat on heavy enough so that it looks fully wet. That will make it flow out properly and get glossy. If your first coat is a wet coat, you'll get runs and sags. So you mist on a base layer of paint with coats that aren't heavy enough to get glossy, then make it pretty with the last one.
