I'm new in this industry and need a little direction. I have a wide verity of SM parts on a board, top and bottom. The larger components have a very nice reflow, good shine. The 0402/0201's has a dull almost cold solder look. The boards function and

Could you show us the reflow profile and 0402/0201 pictures? I have had the same situation before just because insufficient solder paste ( Specially on 0201) and maybe not enough heat reflow profile.

Is this solder lead or lead free? Try look at the delta of the PCB during re-flow, you might find that the smaller parts are being "cooked" faster and burning off the flux.

Your solder paste manufacturer’s profile is just a “guideline.” You can customize your profile to meet your product’s need. For better grain-structure (shiney-ness) try a ramp soak spike profile keeping your preheat temps very low before your reflo

Small paste deposits have less flux thus less flux activity to enhance the wetting. So preheat needs to be as short as possible, ramp to spike if possible. Try not to ramp hold and spike - pending thermal delta on product can be made to ramp to spike

I know this is going to sound rather sad, but we have been using a Capton tape for years that contains silicone to mask large components as they go over the wave, as well as large plated holes on the pcb. It was handed down for years as accepted prac
